Related to that point, I notice a piece of code starting "we might need to use some other shell than /bin/sh for running subshells" that tries to determine a shell on Windows hosts. It's autoconf's job to find a suitable shell, so if this code is still relevant I think there's something missing in autoconf. -- Joseph S. Myers jos...@codesourcery.com
