That patch looks good to me, except:

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.
