Firstly, BSD_ECHO should have the OPT_EMULATE flag, regardless of its default state. Secondly, as I've said before, it's a really bad idea to try to emulate the native sh -- on some OSes, such as the one I'm using here, the results of the configure test depend on what the installer's $PATH is set to. I suggest you revert this patch for the final final 3.0 release, or at least add the OPT_EMULATE flag to the second case. -zefram
