How about if you rename config.guess.1 to config_guess.1 and do "man
config.guess"? (E.g.: for short filename systems.) Answer: it doesn't find it.

So what should I do with the autoconf 2.57 packages for systems with short
filenames?

Perhaps man could try transforming all the dots to underscores, if it can't
find it with dots?

Bye, Rich =]
