Ah, sorry, then I misunderstood. Well, then, instead of doing the stuff I mentioned before the tarball is created, we can add a shell script to be run after the tarball is extracted. For example, on MS-DOS the c++defs.h file is automatically renamed to cxxdefs.h by the extractor, so the script can uniformly substitute "cxxdefs.h" for "c++defs.h" in all the text files. Hopefully a similar idea works for all the other files with non-MS-DOS names. I assume that the "configure" procedure for MS-DOS is already different, so this new script can be folded into that procedure. > The files in m4/ still matter because you need to unpack the tarball, > and the utility that does that won't silently overwrite files due to > file-name clashes. That's OK. People can ignore those diagnostics, just as I assume they already ignore the diagnostics for the files whose names start with ".". It doesn't matter whether those files are extracted correctly, as the MS-DOS build doesn't use them.
