I am not sure what Roland did with ksh93, I did change my build system during
the last 6 months in a way that it now allows to "statically" install the
results of the autoconfiguration process in a way that allows all build systems
to use my include files.
BTW: I do not modify any files in my build system, I just create new ones from
testing the build machine. Is this not possible with ksh93?
