This overstates the amount of work that will need to be done, as the
vast majority of configure scripts will not be affected by this change,
whereas the switch from Autoconf 2.13 to 2.5x required changes to most
configure.in files.
I sense that we're not making much progress in the discussion any more.
Ben, what's your thought on this matter now? Are you still inclined
to make the change, or would you rather fork config.guess and
config.sub, or look for some other compromise, or what?
