Dear diary, on Thu, Jun 15, 2006 at 08:03:56PM CEST, I got a letter
where Jakub Narebski <jnareb@xxxxxxxxx> said that...
> Does autoconf generate configure script in POSIX shell, or in bash?

/bin/sh, but on such a degree that it avoids using even functions -
which makes the resulting ./configure script quite awful. autoconf is
*much* better than automake (libtool I shall refrain commenting on
entirely; eeeek) in that you have much more free hand in bending it
in case it does something stupid, but the resulting ./configure script
is still mammoth and barely readable.
