and to drop in my $0.02, wouldn't it be a good idea to implement other
changes Eli incorperated in Sed3.02/djgpp/config.sed
That is:
- Fix all checks for absolute path-names
- Fix TEXINPUTS line

And I also have another fix(?) at home (similar to the INSTALL fix),
which I needed for ncurses, give me some days and I'll look it up.

bye now,
 Robert
