Okay, definitely CVS based.

The file bsh204b.zip on SimTel has been updated several times in the last
year, most recently in early January 2002.  The bash.exe from that 
distribution should be dated Dec 24, 2001.  It should work reasonably
well under Windows 2000 - earlier ones don't work as well.

> Configure only runs when I have the Simtel version in \bin. ????

This may be some incompatibility in either the bash 2.05 itself or in
a mixture of the images.  It's not well tested (check the warnings on
the web page).  If you want better tested components use the v2.03 
refresh (which are also on Simtel).

autoconf doesn't always do the right thing if someone hasn't tweeked it
for that package for that platform.

There is a configuration problem here - PIC shouldn't be used, shared libraries
(such as .so/.lo) shouldn't be touched since DJGPP doesn't support them.  So
the autoconfigure has done the wrong thing.  If you see PIC anywhere, it's
not going to work.
