autoconf under cygwin creates broken files

[Uwe Seimet]

Hi,

this statement:

AC_OUTPUT(config/Make.rules:config/Make.rules.in:../config/Make.rules.in \
        Makefile \
        include/Makefile \
        include/JTCC/Makefile \
        src/Makefile \
        test/Makefile \
        demo/Makefile)

results in a broken configure script on a cygwin environment. This is what
is created by autoconf on Windows/cygwin:

> ac_config_files="$ac_config_files 
> config/Make.rules:config/Make.rules.in:../config/Make.rules.in \^M Makefile 
> \^M include/Makefile \^M include/JTCC/Makefile \^M src/Makefile \^M 
> test/Makefile \^M demo/Makefile"

due to the CR/LFs the configure script is broken under Unix as well as under
Windows, i. e. it is unusable.

This is created for the same macro under Unix:

< ac_config_files="$ac_config_files 
config/Make.rules:config/Make.rules.in:../config/Make.rules.in Makefile 
include/Makefile include/JTCC/Makefile src/Makefile test/Makefile demo/Makefile"

and works fine for both Windows/cygwin and Unix. Looks as if a bugfix is
required for autoconf with respect to the handling of CR/LF under Windows.

Best regards,  Uwe
