which sed version is needed that autoconf (config.status) works at all

[Stefan Kost]

hi hi,

I recently switched to autoconf 2.52/automake 1.5. since that I have lots of 
problems.
The biggest is that at the end of
running configure, config.status is called and this works through a long sed 
list (CONFIG_FILES).
There it break. depending on which sed I use with various error.
I've tried the original sed from sun as well as the latest sed from gnu (3.02). 
With the laster this happens :
...
config.status: creating Makefile
sed: file /tmp/cs12772-/subs-3.sed line 3: Unknown command: ``(''
sed: file /tmp/cs12772-/subs-2.sed line 51: Unterminated `s' command
config.status: creating intl/Makefile
sed: file /tmp/cs12772-/subs-3.sed line 3: Unknown command: ``(''
sed: file /tmp/cs12772-/subs-2.sed line 51: Unterminated `s' command
config.status: creating po/Makefile.in
sed: file /tmp/cs12772-/subs-3.sed line 3: sed: file /tmp/cs12772-/subs-2.sed 
line 51: Unterminated `s' command
Unknown command: ``(''
config.status: creating gitkHelloUser_main.giml
sed: file /tmp/cs12772-/subs-3.sed line 3: Unknown command: ``(''
sed: file /tmp/cs12772-/subs-2.sed line 51: Unterminated `s' command
config.status: creating config.h

Further it would realy be wonderful if you could readd the feature that the 
used configure
invokation is repeated as a comment atthe very top of the file, so that I can 
easily check that with head config.status, when I build a new version of the 
package.

Ciao
 Stefan
