Read the FAQ!
Then use:
ARG0=sh zsh ./configure <whatever you like here>

Since no one is going to read the FAQ, why doesn't the current
coordinator release 3.1.4.  This seems to me to be a pretty
basic flaw.  Unless this is a test to see who reads the FAQ,
of which most people will fail.

Also while at it, maybe someone could fix up-line-or-search so
it works? :-)

Thanks,
Andy
