Why not? (not a rhetoric question).
Why not *what*? Why not fork the file? Why not apply this patch as-is?
Why not integrate this change in Automake?
I meant this.
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.
I don't insist. :-)
