Is there really any need for this check in autoconf?

Launching sed over and over, hogging cpu, just to find a number that's so
high, it'll never get reached...
...unless you use webcvs on a directory with 16000+ files...

Is there any other way? If it's absolutely necessary, can it be sped up?

N.
