You could let the make do the extraction. No need to cobble something
in shell code. Make the extraction via make depend on some missing file.

Maybe time to talk with your management or IT department about

then that is a portability bug that should get fixed.
And when I was getting to like Autoconf. Now I'll have to fork it to
get my needs for portability met. Way to go, Paul. ;^D
