Hello George,

Thanks for explaining.

Yes, presumably because Autoconf did not try the exit declaration that
would please that MSVC version.  It's incredible the developers have
managed to use at least 4 different, incompatible declarations of a
standardized function, changing it for almost every release.

This is why Autoconf-2.60 does not try to find one any more.

I would _really_ recommend using 2.60 only for doing work with MSVC.

Cheers,
