Yes, I *think* I got this stuff right (I had to twonk with it a bit), but I'll
double check AC2.63 just to be sure.

Fixed; thx.

Correct -- this is a cut-n-paste-ism from PLPA. I hadn't ripped it out yet.
It will go.

Embedded hwloc *can* build these things (tools and tests); it's just not the
default. OMPI, for example, will not build the hwloc executables because we'll
only want the library code to be slurped into OMPI's larger libraries.

Oops. :-) I found one regarding the version (in configure.ac) -- I can't find
any others. Can you cite?
