Well then perhaps we can use ed or something. Or do like
perl and build our own echo. *Anything* but here documents.
Data:
I've hacked autoconf to use echo in a number of key places.
With just AC_DEFINE, AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED, and AC_TRY_LINK,
the number of here documents is down from 485 to 156. This
takes 16:20.3 to run configure on Solaris.
Transforming AC_TRY_COMPILE, AC_TRY_CPP bring the number
down to 29. A few more here and there bring us to 21.
This takes 2:14.7 to run configure.
