Why not *what*? Why not fork the file? Why not apply this patch as-is? Why not integrate this change in Automake? A wee bit of redundancy can sometimes help get over the noisy channel that is non-native language. ;-) Anyway, to integrate this in Automake would need a configure test in its configure.ac (or a new m4 macro file) that isn't really needed there currently (as Automake does not use XFile::lock at all). If you insist, I'll look into it. However, my only real motivation to get Autoconf running under DJGPP is so that I have an easy way to test configure scripts under DJGPP by running the Autoconf test suite. Thanks! Ralf
