You mean, we should tell people to just run ./configure as
/usr/bin/ksh ./configure
on Solaris 10? Maybe...
You are certainly right that we shouldn't make things complicated
trying to work around broken shells.
This particular change doesn't do any harm elsewhere, though, and
it doesn't add a single byte to the code, so i don't think i need
to revert it.
Yours,
Ingo
