But there is no need to set the version during the run of configure;
it is known when Autoconf runs. Actually, Autoconf requires that the
version is a literal, not shell variable.
Could you replace your version.sh with version.m4, which would
contain:
m4_define([gettext_version], [1.2.3])
?
Then you would have:
m4_include([version.m4])
AC_INIT([GNU gettext], gettext_version, [EMAIL PROTECTED])
Have a nice day,
