I can help with that. The Sed scripts are all invoked by the script config.bat that is in the top-level directory. See msdos/README. > But I think I can make it work with autoconf. Not recommended: the Emacs configury and the top-level Makefile.in were never made to DTRT for the DOS port, so I presume you will have a lot of obstacles to negotiate. > Will such a change be okay for the release branch? Depends on how many changes will be needed.
