Here's a minor patch that cleans up five spelling errors in configure.in.
Two would be seen by a user when configure is run (the other three are in
comments). I've only included the patch to configure.in itself -- I'll
regenerate configure when I check this in.
OK to commit?

Just FYI, spelling errors are mostly considered obvious fixes. You just
need to be careful with regional differences. GDB's english is anything
but U.S. centric. Either ``correct'' or U.S. spelling are considered
acceptable and should be left unchanged. Once GDB is internationalized,
people can start rationalizing it (changing everything to ``strine''
:-).

Andrew,
I wasn't sure if spelling fixes fell under the new "obvious fix" rule.
I've checked this in.
Thanks for looking at this.
