Now that assignment has gone through a couple of weeks ago, I went ahead and committed your version 7 of this patch into a new 'msvc' branch off of maint and merged that into master. I intend to merge also into branch-1.11/maint before the 1.11.2 release, since it is ugly to have released versions with incompatible auxiliary scripts that are also distributed elsewhere like in gnulib. I've squashed in a few really minor changes (bumping scriptversion to today, using AC_CONFIG_FILES instead of AC_OUTPUT(FILE) and fixing the mode of the created file rather than its input, to avoid a test failure on GNU/Linux etc). Will push as soon as the testsuite has finished. Thanks again, Ralf
