autoscan (from the last official port) fails (running in plain dos under bash
shell). 
It seems that it is because autoscan is a perl script, not a shell script.
It does not properly translate the line (number 24)

$datadir = $ENV{"AC_MACRODIR"} || "${DJDIR}/share/autoconf";

replacing it by the two lines

$prefix = $ENV{"DJDIR"};
$datadir = $ENV{"AC_MACRODIR"} || "${prefix}/share/autoconf";

(modelled after automake: I know absolutely nothing about perl)
it works.

Hope this helps
