These two patches are fixes for some problems I encountered when trying to build the autoconf-archive from source.

The first patch is a fix for the use of 'echo -n' in configure.ac. My system's /bin/sh seems to conform more strictly to POSIX and my echo will print its arguments verbatim. This means that after running ./configure, the M4FILES and TEXIFILES variables had '-n' as their first file which resulted in this error:


make[1]: *** No rule to make target `-n', needed by `autoconf-archive.info'.  Stop.



I replaced the use of 'echo -n' in configure.ac with the m4_esyscmd_s macro that strips the trailing newline.

The second patch is just fixing a small nuisance I saw when running bootstrap.sh. When bootstrap.sh calls gnulib-tool, gnulib-tool adds duplicate entries to .gitignore and doc/.gitignore. Adding the --no-vc-files option stops that from happening.
