Apparently, nice can be invoked in many different ways, depending on the Unix
you use. Putting "nice -n 20 myprogram" is not portable.
Did someone write a AC_CHECK_NICE which yields the actual way to reduce the
priority of a process to the lowest possible value
Does someone know how `\?' is portable in sed?

I'd like to add a few commands to config.status to be executed before
configu.status creates any files (to run mkdir to facilitate some multi-
level SUBDIRS directories). There's a diversion that would let me do
this, but since diversions are hidden from users, are there any other
ways to do it?

Are you asking about the metacharacter ? which indicates "matches zero or one
occurences of the preceding regular expression" or the quoted metacharacter \?
which indicates a literal `?'?

Indeed the '?' meta-char is not portable in "sed".

Sounds good.

Sounds good, but what if the package has sub-packages? Should they be
affected too or not? Would the user have to
