Personally, I just use basename, but the Autoconf manual does say:
`basename'
Not all hosts have a working `basename'. You can use `expr'
instead.
The manual didn't list an alternative, but some searching (I'm not
horribly familiar with the regex syntax in expr) says:
`expr "//$file" : '.*/\([^/]*\)'`
