That patch looks good to me, except:

> +  CONFIG_SHELL=$SHELL exec $SHELL $[0] $ac_configure_args 
> \$ac_configure_extra_args --no-create --no-recursion

Many shells treat "A=B exec COMMAND" differently; they ignore the
assignment.  For example, ksh M-11/16/88i, or Solaris 10 /bin/sh.
I suspect this is a bug, though POSIX is a bit murky in this area.

So this should be reworded:

CONFIG_SHELL=$SHELL
export CONFIG_SHELL
exec $SHELL ...

Other than that, please install into Autoconf.
