To either revert the change, or to canonicalize them to
CPU-VENDOR-mingw* and CPU-VENDOR-winnt* respectively. Neither `gnu' nor
`msvc' are appropriate for the operating system field.

Thanks.
Re: Rethinking configuration tuples
I can submit two patches (effectively amending my prior, landed patch)
with options that I think people would prefer. Will do that shortly.

I would expect them to be actively reading this list, but instead my
original request has been left twisting in the wind.
I'm the maintainer and I'm actively reading this list now,
a bit surprised to find so many messages at this time of year. :)
Apparently, you don't quite like commit
91f6a7f616b161c25ba2001861a40e662e18c4ad that added
$cpu-$vendor-windows-{gnu,msvc} support to config.sub, but I'm not sure
I understood what exactly do you suggest to change in this case.

I'm the maintainer and I'm actively reading this list now,
a bit surprised to find so many messages at this time of year. :)
Apparently, you don't quite like commit
91f6a7f616b161c25ba2001861a40e662e18c4ad that added
$cpu-$vendor-windows-{gnu,msvc} support to config.sub, but I'm not sure
I understood what exactly do you suggest to change in this case.

Karl Berry is the Automake maintainer. I'm not sure if there *is* an official config.* maintainer. The person most appropriately described as the de facto maintainer is probably Dmitry V. Levin. > I would expect them to be actively reading this list, but instead my > original request has been left twisting in the wind. If you could provide me a reference to your original request (e.g. URL in the mailing list archive) I will undertake to get it done. If I try to find it myself I'm afraid I will pick the wrong thing. If there is a specific git commit or commits you want reverted, the full hashes of those commits would also be very helpful. zw
