Hello Tim,

In http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2006-05/msg00077.html
you warned that changing config.status to use awk for substitutions
could easily break on the systems you have access to.

We made the change now in the CVS version of Autoconf.  Even more, we
also use some more potentially large here documents.  Would you be
willing to test it?  Grab it with
  CVS_RSH=ssh \
  cvs -d :pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot/autoconf \
      checkout autoconf
  cd autoconf
  ./configure

It's probably sufficient if you run these tests for now:
  make check \
       TESTSUITEFLAGS="-k substitute -k define -k torturing -k AS_ECHO"

Thanks,
Ralf
