I didn't see this problem with Bash 2.03 and the sources in
shl20js.zip.  I understand that Prashant modified the Makefile's to
avoid the problem one has with the original distribution.  The package
built for me both on DOS and Windows.

I wonder how come you saw this.

This setup loses if you want to modify the original files (e.g., to
correct some problem and then submit the changes to the Sh-utils
maintainer): unless you remember to run the edtest.bat batch file
manually, the test scripts will not be updated.
