I think we can conclude the discussion here. I'm convinced that the proposed change is both (a) trivial enough to not bother wasting any more time arguing over it, and (b) would have too much impact on users (both of Autoconf and auxillary config.* users). Also--thanks to everyone for bringing my attention to uses of these scripts in other domains I wasn't aware of! Ben
