| YES! This fixes one of the few remaining things in rc that has caused

| FSF tools, e.g., autoconfig generated configure scripts, I would
| prefer not to do it. By all means keep it.
Sorry to be crank-like again, but while the rc + 'equals hack' can run
old rc scripts just fine, anyone who writes any script without quoting
an argument containing '=' will find it unportable to an 'unhacked' rc.
Can one even _determine_ at run time that the equals hack is present,
other than by causing an error?
Sean.
