Hi,

Just a quick note that the /configure file has dos newlines in it and needs
to be converted to unix format before it can be invoked on cygwin. I was
just wondering if dos newlines are chosen intentionally or whether it would
be possible to convert the file to unix format next time anyone updates it?

In case anyone is seeing the same problem but hasn't pinned it to newlines
yet, dos newlines cause the following output as the shell parses the script
into surprising chunks!

$ ./configure
: command not found2:
./configure: line 22: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
./configure: line 22: `  case `(set -o) 2>/dev/null` in *posix*) set -o
posix;;
'sac

And to save you looking it up: [ <CTRL-x> <RET>f unix<RET> ] converts it in
emacs!

Thanks, Simon
