To some degree, it depends on whether you are okay with $PWD being logical on platforms where pwd behaves like the posix 'pwd -P'; however, since autoconf documents that you can't reliably expect either 'pwd -L' or 'pwd - -P', you have to deal with both anyway. But I personally don't know how likely you are to hit a shell that forgets to assign PWD. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
