As the subject says - older versions of bash did not grok
files with mixed line endings.  I worked around this by
dtou'ing config.status.  However, this breaks when running
 config.status --recheck
as config.status is kept open by, so dtou can't move its
temp file over it (configure uses redirection to create
the new config.status, so that works).
So I added an ugly hack to work around this. So I wanted to
know if it was OK if autoconf didn't support any bash prior
to 2.03 (or any other shell that doesn't grok mixed EOLs).
