Re: [patch] remove config.status race condition

[Pavel Roskin]

Hello, Lars!

I don't object against installing your patch as a temporary measure.

Ideally, config.status should check one thing - that it's run by the same
shell and on the same machine as configure - everything else must be
hardcoded.

But I realize that we have limited resources now, and that cleanups must
stop at some point to give way to small fixes, if we are going to release
2.50 at all.

Very good point. 2.50 is not the last version and we cannot do everything
right now.
