Doesn't it already do that? 'configure' scripts already look for
a better shell, one that presumably conforms to POSIX better.
I don't think 'configure' needs to check for strict conformance
to POSIX (hardly any shell does that), only stuff that's useful
and practical -- which is what it does now, no? So perhaps I am
not understanding your proposal.
