Hello.

I've been trying to build Fileutils 4.1 under Windows NT 4 with SFN (no LFN
TSR loaded). I discovered that it fails, because the temporary file arguments
is created by Command Prompt, which can support LFNs. When config.bat tries to
run configure like this:

    sh ./configure @arguments

it fails because sh can't arguments. It appears as argume~1 in 8+3.

The solution is to create a file that does fit into 8+3, e.g. 'args'.

Since I copied djgpp\config.bat from another port, this will affect other
ports. Bison 1.35 is the one I just looked at, but I can't remember which
package I copied djgpp\config.bat from.

Bye, Rich =]
