MS-DOS, I think. But this should not be a problem, as we can move src/config.in to msdos/config.in and the MS-DOS build can use msdos/config.in instead. msdos/config.in can start off being a copy of the old src/config.in but can be maintained by hand, as needed. This would lessen the need for tight coupling between the mainline and the DOS version. If we can't do something like this, then I don't see the point of removing 'configure' from the repository. 'configure' and src/config.in must be kept in sync, and it'd be asking for trouble if one is in the repository and the other is not.
