yes, I have made a mistake.  The autoconf manual says that you cannot
use ! , but it doesn't mention any system.  It also says you cannot use
`test !' within an if, again without mentioning any system.

Se my todays post to autoconf list, under the subject
        AS_EXECUTABLE_P again

Have a nice day,
