This patch introduces a `compat' directory, prefixed to the PATH. The directory is to be filled with workarounds that are included when required.
Three types of compatibility options are supported: symlinks: locations specifically chosen with --with-blah programs.in: alternative scripts to emulate missing binaries functions.sh: shell functions emulating missing binaries Included is one program (getopt) and two functions (mktemp and column) Three minor issues remain .. 1) $(BASH) in Makefile.in using --with-bash=... will be 'bash' rather than $withval. This should be solved by include compat/ in the Makefile PATH 2) older autoconf not support; a little m4 sugar can solve this. 3) ln -s is not useful on MSYS, but I doubt anybody is clamouring for that at the moment :) -- John
