This means their situation would not change no matter what.
All variations of AutoGen require bi-directional pipes to
subprocesses. That is not DOS. :-(
Please correct me if I am wrong; it appears that the situation is
* Converting to AutoGen 5 would make no difference on MSDOS
since they can't run either version.
* Converting to AutoGen 5 would make little difference on Windows
because fixinc is not used on Windows.
Given these facts, we should definitely upgrade the script. Even if
*maintenance* of AutoGen 4 takes "no work", the need to continue
distributing it complicates the overall system and creates various
opportunities for confusion.
