But autoconf could supply it's own shell that one could use to execute

You need an AC_PREREQ(2.53) in your configure.in file.
Cygwin has specialized scripts that search for AC_PREREQ to determine
whether or not to use 2.13 or the newer versions of autoconf. If it
doesn't find an AC_PREREQ then it defaults to 2.13.

I'm disabling the shared cache file for the obvious reason; different
