The patch looks good to me, so I think you can apply it.
Note that this patch is mostly not a bugfix per se: it actually
introduces a new feature--support for the alternative DOS shell called
4DOS when running the configury stuff. I myself never use 4DOS,
that's why the original batch file didn't support it.

Juan, please try in the future to send a ChangeLog entry together with
changes. Some maintainers of GNU packages won't accept changes
without a suitable ChangeLog entry. The file standards.info includes
a section on writing good ChangeLog entries.
