We had some problems with getting our Coin project compiled on Cygwin,

After having written a lot of scripts, I've gone tired of testing if
boolean variables contain one string or another (e.g. "yes" vs "no"),

if test foo exists; then

I'm setting up my own sed-parse rule in a Makefile.in file, that

Makefile. How do I do that?

The most logical thing would probably just be to do this:
ac_file_inputs=`IFS=:
for f in $ac_file_in; do
case $f in
-) echo $tmp/stdin ;; # stdin
+ /*) echo $f ;; # absolute paths

There is definitely something wrong at the moment. In
_AC_OUTPUT_FILES, amongst other things, $ac_dots is always
"../" (at least for separate builddir configure runs with
relative path to configure), which screws up everything.
Here is some debug output from a configure run...
Haven't detected
AC_SHELL_MKDIR_P() sets $ac_dir, so the variable is invalid after the
mkdir makro is invoked...

Hi,
Here's the Autoconf patch for config.status builddir awareness,
and some minor textfile updates. The acgeneral.m4 part depends on
my previous patch having been applied and massaged so there are
no quotes around $f in the case/esac.

I've tried to set up aclocal.m4 to just m4_include the necessary
