The first two chunks cause the messages to be changed, adding an unnecessary backslash: ./configure --help ... --enable-load-vt-fonts enable load-vt-fonts() action --enable-logging enable logging --enable-logfile-exec enable exec\'d logfile filter--disable-maximize disable actions for iconify/deiconify/maximize/restore--disable-num-lock disable NumLock keypad support ... and ./configure checking if you want direct-color support... yes checking if you want blinking cursor... yes checking if you want to ignore Linux\'s broken palette-strings... yes checking if you want to allow broken string-terminators... yes checking if you want to compile-in icon data... yes The unaltered script displays properly in vi-like-emacs...
My apologies, I only checked that configure ran to completion and didn't notice the escapes were leaking through. I should have known better, escaping apostrophes is something I've been doing for years in Perl, I should have known better than to think it would work the same way in the shell.
Definitely ignore the patch!
