Example

   Let's consider a trivial example.
   Suppose we want to write a simple version of `touch'.  Our program,
which we will call `poke', will take a single file name argument, and
use the `utime' system call to set the modification and access times of
the file to the current time.  We want this program to be highly
portable.
   We'll first see what this looks like without using autoconf and
automake, and then see what it looks like with them.
