Related to that point, I notice a piece of code starting "we might need to 
use some other shell than /bin/sh for running subshells" that tries to 
determine a shell on Windows hosts.  It's autoconf's job to find a 
suitable shell, so if this code is still relevant I think there's 
something missing in autoconf.
