Now that assignment has gone through a couple of weeks ago, I went ahead
and committed your version 7 of this patch into a new 'msvc' branch off
of maint and merged that into master. I intend to merge also into
branch-1.11/maint before the 1.11.2 release, since it is ugly to have
released versions with incompatible auxiliary scripts that are also
distributed elsewhere like in gnulib.
I've squashed in a few really minor changes (bumping scriptversion to
today, using AC_CONFIG_FILES instead of AC_OUTPUT(FILE) and fixing the
mode of the created file rather than its input, to avoid a test failure
on GNU/Linux etc).
Will push as soon as the testsuite has finished.
Thanks again,
Ralf
