Bug#790294: libkpathsea-dev: c-auto.h header missing

[Norbert Preining <preining@logic.at>]

Hi Peter,

here on the Debian side I got a report that some packages
stopped building, because they test for 
	kpathsea/c-auto.h
but it seems this file is not installed anymore.

Martin found that there are slightly contradicting statements
in the log/Makefile:

Could you please let me know what is the case, so that we can
either fix our distributed libkpathsea package or ask the packages
to fix their checks.

Thanks a lot
