I didn't mean it could ever be.  But as long as we have no proper means to
make configure scripts runnable, IMHO we shouldn't care.  Until then, we
*must* craft Makefiles by hand, so we might as well patch it to get away
with MS-DOS limitations.  Maybe some day somebody will make a decent
shell port to DOS.  Sigh...
