Yeah, on reflection I agree with that. My goal here is to get rid of all internal uses of AC_EGREP_CPP and AC_EGREP_HEADER. I don't think we should aggressively add to the list of -Wobsolete warnings in what's supposed to be a bugfix release. Therefore, how about I revise this patch to remove the case for freebsd* | darwin*, and make no other changes? zw
