I am trying to port the GNU shellutils to DJGPP.  (They aren't _all_
useless, esp. with ms_sh).  Unfortunately, I am blocked by (among other
things) a bug in DJGPP's make; even though SHELL is set to /bin/sh and
/bin/sh.exe exists, make creates and runs .BAT files (hence implicitly
calling $COMSPEC).  Am I going to have to drastically rewrite all the
makefiles to compensate for this bug?  The prospect does not seem a
pleasant one...
