I'd love to :)

But in fact, I gave myself an additional requirement for 2.50 (since
people seem to agree that's the way it should be named): I'd like it
to be DJGPP and EMX OS/2 compliant.

Most of the issues we wanted to cover are done.  What remains for a
candidate:

  - fix the portability problems of config.status
    there are two or three reports yet :(

  - swallow a few additional popular acspecific like macros
    the most important one being AC_SYS_LARGEFILES.

  - portability to not so Unix

  - proof reading the documentation and enriching it (specially the
    new sections on portability, and documenting AC_LANG_*,
    AC_*_IFELSE).

  - Updating NEWS

  - ...?

I won't be here next week, so with some luck, we might see a first
snapshot in 2 or 3 weeks, IMNSPO *.

In My Not So Pessimistic Opinion :)
