[PATCH] Don't use subshell redirect in mkconfig.sh

Subject: [PATCH] Don't use subshell redirect in mkconfig.sh
Reply-to: "Douglas B Rupp" <rupp at gnat dot com>

This patch avoids a bug in VMS bash and a limitation of the VMS filesystem.

A subprocess on VMS is unable to return an updated file position to
a parent process, so output from the subshell gets garbled.

Filenames can only contain one "." on VMS.
