tweaked a little to avoid regenerating autotools

2009-07-29  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues <at> gmx.de>

	* configure.in: Check for sys/user.h and linux/binfmts.h
	headers.
	* job.c: Include them if available.
	(construct_command_argv_internal): When constructing the command
	line with 'sh -c', use multiple arguments together with eval
	expansion to evade the Linux per-argument length limit
	MAX_ARG_STRLEN if it is defined.
	Problem reported against Automake by Xan Lopez <xan <at> gnome.org>.
