So you can see which are wrappers and which not, ls followed by file:

It was before I changed it. I forget why I changed it now (to avoid
the symlinked grep from the GNU install I think).
#!/bin/ksh

So I think all is well now. Thank you.
[It would be nice to have the test results aggregated at the end,
which might ease reporting problems.]

OK. I don't know when they came into being (which version of autoconf)
but I think they have been around for a while now.
