As long as there's a valid aclocal.m4 in the mingw directory, I wouldn't think it would matter but that's a decision for the mingw folks, I think. The mingw-patches and cygwin-patches mailing lists are in the To: above. I apologize for posting to a closed list but I thought that this was also something that needed to be seen there. Daniel, FWIW, I added you to the allow list in cygwin-patches so your email shouldn't bounce there anymore. cgf
