I agree that it is silly, but I just realized that this version will at least *run* on systems with only sh or pdksh. Changing the first line of the configure scripts to something like
#!/usr/bin/env bash
would make it fail completely on such systems. So, I am sorry, but I have changed my mind about making that change to the configure scripts (for now).
For what it is worth, the autoconf documentation contains a primer about portable shell constructs in (info "(autoconf) Portable Shell") It is a nightmare^W^W an interesting read. -- David Kastrup
