I don't remember seeing this fragment.  Vik, did you include it in the 
excerpts that you posted?

Does this mean that if Autoheader is run with an argument this problem is 
avoided?  Can you try?

Anyway, if the part of the script which mv'es $tmpout does that while 
output is still redirected to $tmpout, then this indeed will not work on 
non-Unix systems.  I think this should be changed in the ported 
Autoheader.  Renaming or deleting files which are open by some program is 
nothing but trouble on MS-DOS/MS-Windows.
