ANNOUNCE: GHC version 6.8.1

If it's nothing to worry about, and has a sensible explanation, can someone add it to the Building GHC FAQ?  (If this page doesn't exist, it ought to!)

| That's not a problem in GHC's configure.ac or other .ac files. It's just
| that autoreconf scans all the /usr/share/aclocal/*.m4 files that you
| happen to have installed on your system. If any of those are from before
| autoconf started getting really picky about quoting then you'll get that
| warning. It's nothing to worry about, especially as in this case it's in
| a .m4 file that we do not get any definitions from.
