How portable is "mv -f" used in autoheader.sh? If it is, I believe we
should switch to using it everywhere to avoid any unwanted interactivity.
I believe that mv -f is fully portable. I think the only portable
options to mv are -f and -i.
Related question - how portable is "mv" across mount points, i.e. between
$TMPDIR and the current directory? Will "mv -f" help?
I do not think that mv across mount points is portable. The -f option
will not help.
