Link for MORE

I suppose you could do this but the purists would say you should do

	export PAGER /bin/less

instead.  If that's not enough to fix configure, then your configure
script is probably broken.

(Having said that, I use "alias more=less" but that's for my personal
memory, not a configure script.)
