I plan to include a config.site with autoconf 2.50. Very little needs
to be set there; this is the current "standard" config.site I'm using
with CVS autoconf:


# For now, we need this - future versions of autoconf will hopefully
# be able to do this right.
TEST_FINDS_EXE=y

# Enable these to avoid typical portability problems
#ac_cv_func_fork=no
#ac_cv_func_mkfifo=no
#ac_cv_func_mknod=no
#ac_cv_func_mmap=no
#ac_cv_func_pipe=no
#ac_cv_func_vfork=no

# By using this, results of configure's program checks will be more portable
PATH="/dev/env/DJDIR/bin;$PATH"

# This is REQUIRED: using simply "/bin/(ba)sh" will NOT work (m4 needs this
# to be a full path with executable suffix)
SHELL=/dev/env/DJDIR/bin/bash.exe
CONFIG_SHELL=$SHELL


The TEST_FINDS_EXE will probably be unecessary from 2.51 onwards; there
are plans to add some other means to autoconf to properly detect executables
(probably an external script that can be maintained separately).
