Give them another quarter and you'll be saying "NT". *cry*

I've been patching configure.in to make this completely portable.
The problems are with '! test [blah blah blah]' and 'echo -n'.
>From the echo man page:

USAGE
     Portable applications  should  not  use  -n  (as  the  first
     argument) or escape sequences.

So I changed that. And I changed the string tests to 'test -n'.
The new configure works with sh, ksh, and bash. Does anybody want
my patches to configure and configure.in, or should I wait until
pre10 and do it again? From Guylhem's E-mail, it seems he has
changed some of configure.in, so it seems to be it would be best
to wait until tomorrow.
