This is an issue for OS/2 too (port to be contributed as soon as
the autoconf issues are resolved :-) It would be great to do
something like "gcc conftest.c" and then test for the executable
conftest or conftest.exe and set the exeext for the host (is there
such a thing?) appropriately. 
  
    I've added code to handle both cases. There is one lingering
    issue where autoconf uses ':' to separate sources and targets,
    such as `Makefile:foo.in', but I'll look at that soon.
  
I'm interesting in seeing this, could you mail a copy (even if it isn't
complete yet)?  Thanks!
