Hi Simon,
> + @if ! indent --version 2> /dev/null | grep -q 'GNU indent'; then\
As mentioned in the Autoconf manual [1], the grep option '-q' is not portable.
E.g. on Solaris 10:
$ echo | grep -q x
grep: illegal option -- q
Usage: grep -hblcnsviw pattern file . . .
The portable alternative is
grep 'GNU indent' > /dev/null
