Right. DOS can in very rare cases have drive letters outside of [A-Za-z]. So
[A-Za-z] will work 99.99% of the time under DOS and is fine with me

I just don't know. The subversions team, AFAIK, is working on it, but
there is nothing yet running.

Akim, I checked today and found out that there have been updates to the

we can get notified immediately?

Something I'd like to call a flaw with config.log is that it is

Also, one more item. In AC_OUTPUT_FILES, there is a sed command that should be
reversed
to keep filenames with colons in them (like c:/windows) from being affected. Would
there be any adverse affects to the output if the colon replacement were done first?

I'll investigate further. Most of my experience with autoconf is with Cygwin

Hm, what do you mean?

I just discovered this post from jwz. (Jamie, I don't actually read

I want to use diverts in some macros, and wonder if there is any
divert management system for reserving/freeing divert numbers in
autoconf (couldn't find any with a quick grep at least). The point
is, if other macros are using diverts too, I don't want my diverts
to clash with those diverts and v

Hmm, I think I stated that I simply don't know enough of autoconf to do it

Hi!
Let's raise this question again, I'm really puzzled, and I'd like to
be explained what is going on.
Below is the current AC_TRY_CPP, but other AC_TRY have more or less
the same code. In particular, pay attention to the various `rm
conftest'.
| # AC_TRY_CPP(INCLUDES, [ACTION-IF-TRUE], [AC
That's fine with me, but I still would like to know why you didn't
prefer using the right includes.
