Why do you refer to GCS? I thought that 'autoconf' is intended for most 
Unix'es, not only GNU.

Autoconf stated goal is to generate configure scripts that run on all platforms 
that comply with the GCS set of minimum prerequisites - it so happens that this 
covers most Unix'es (including proprietary systems).

Thank you for explanation.

Just for curiosity, - wouldn't POSIX.2 be a better base for autoconf 
portability ?

Regards, Konstantin.
