 |   * kpse-setup.m4: Disable LuaJITTeX for known unsupported systems.

I've missed it and have to apologize for the noise.  Peter's solution
is much better than what I've suggested and even doesn't need to be
documented.  Since I don't have access to a system which doesn't
support luajittex I assumed that it has to be disabled it "at the
beginning".

What I actually had in mind is that you can waste a lot of time if you
don't pass appropriate arguments to configure.  Norbert wrote

and I assumed that --disable-luajittex is required on some systems.
Again, sorry for the noise and thanks, Mojca, for the link.

I'm wondering where we would be today without Peter.

Regards,
  Reinhard
