I'll give it a shot, in the morning.  Right now I'm trying to get 
autoconf to pass its tests again.  Here's the deal:

Per the earlier discussion about autoconf-2.13/2.52, I was attempting to 
do a side-by-side installation of the two, and decided to run the 
checks.  (eventaully to write a script that parses configure.in for the 
AC_REQ[] line to determine which one to call, etc).

2.13 had "226 expected passes, 33 unexpected failures".  (On both 
cygwin-20011001, and cygwin-1.3.3-2).  This is the same as our previous 
experiments, if you remember those.

2.52 was failing all over the place with cygwin-20011001.  (With 1.3.2, 
we had finally gotten autoconf to pass all tests).  I'm currently 
running the tests again with 1.3.3-2, to make sure the 'breakage' 
occurred during the 1.3.4 development cycle and not before.  So far I'm 
passing all tests with 1.3.3-2 (but this'll take several more hours to 
complete on my machine).

All tests performed on W2Ksp2, CYGWIN=ntsec, and /usr/local/bin/mktemp 
is the implementation from courtesan.com (we had previously determined 
that "my" implementation in the misc package sucked; the courtesan 
version was good).

Sigh.  I'm not sure I have the energy for this.
