Let's see...

if test "$HAVE_NS" = "yes"; then
  if test "$NS_IMPL_GNUSTEP" = yes; then
    AC_CONFIG_FILES([nextstep/GNUstep/Emacs.base/Resources/Info-gnustep.plist:nextstep/templates/Info-gnustep.plist.in \
      nextstep/GNUstep/Emacs.base/Resources/Emacs.desktop:nextstep/templates/Emacs.desktop.in])
    ns_check_file=Resources/Info-gnustep.plist
  else
    AC_CONFIG_FILES([nextstep/Cocoa/Emacs.base/Contents/Info.plist:nextstep/templates/Info.plist.in \
      nextstep/Cocoa/Emacs.base/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/InfoPlist.strings:nextstep/templates/InfoPlist.strings.in])
    ns_check_file=Contents/Info.plist
  fi
  AC_SUBST(ns_check_file)
fi

Uhm...  OK, still not sure.  Seems like this was added by

commit 63dae8e97d343fd4ebfe3dc08f0e8dc932630a4c
Author:     Joakim Verona <[email-masked]>

but the commit is just "merge upstream".  I've added Joakim to the CCs;
perhaps he remembers.
