FWIW Ralf, I've just built autoconf-2.63 on an MSYS-1.0.11 box at 
work.  No errors in building.  I've left the testsuite running, but 
will not be able to report the final result until Monday; (I don't 
use msw on my own boxes).

So far, (it has reached test #230), eleven tests have been skipped: 
(26, 27, 28, 167, 168, 169, 170, 171, 183, 184 and 218), and there 
has been one expected failure: (91); all the rest have reported `ok'.

Regards,
Keith.
