Thanks. That cleared up quite a few questions I had on how the
djgpp system worked.

In this particular case, that would be my major concern. I do not
know *nix well enough to know if the [A-z]: string could ever occur
in a context that would break the script. Nor do I know enough about
m4, autoconf, and the resultant shell script to know how to apply
the equivalent of 

#ifdef DJGPP
  ..... some patch
#endif.

that I can do with C/C++ source.
