That sounds about right. :) It really stands as a caveat about changing behavior. It causes folks to stumble for years on end before fixes propagate through all the layers. Heck, I still have to concern myself with shell anachronisms that were cleaned up in the early 80's. Solaris' /bin/sh is rather extreme though. Thanks for fixing this stuff up for whenever I eventually see it. :) By the way: > > and for autotools: > > > > coding > > Don't know about this one. > > `coding' is a "fake" variable you can specify in the -*- line to > specify the file's coding system.

I extracted those names from text found between 'Local Variables:' and 'End:' lines, so autotools is using it down there and not in the -*- line. Leastwise, they are _trying_ to use it there.
