I wonder why autoconf doesn't use shell functions.
Is that a compatibility issue?
According to the bash info pages, shell functions belong to the
POSIX standard for the Bourne shell.

Hello!
What version of Automake are we using to rebuild Makefile.in's?
It must be a modified version since the stock Automake hardcodes
"gtar" and has a bug in the "distdir" target.
Shouldn't we have a HACKING file?

The reason I asked is the fortran dependency tracker that I'm writing.
I just figured that I could write some things more elegantly if shell
functions were allowed.
If I understand right what Akim writes, I do not need to worry about
shells without functions in a fortran dependency tracking tool
