Yes.

running unpatched autoheader in gcc main directory in DOS session under
Win95 (needed for 'make cstamp-h.in') for both gcc-2.8.1 and egcs-1.1.1.
autoheader tries to rename file where autoheader output is being written.
This does not work under Win95 unless file is closed before.

Also: are You going to also include autoscan (needs PERL, therefore I
included definition of ac_cv_path_PERL) which was not in acnf212b.zip.

Also manipulations on $PATH was left in posted script by mistake (it's
was one harmless but unsuccessfull test)
