That wasn't particularly the intention, it was just necessary to work
around an autoconf issue;

I'm obviously hoping Someone (TM) will remove s/msdos.h and s/ms-w32.h,
either by moving them to the nt/ or msdos/ directory (or if all else
fails, to src/), or by folding them in to config.nt or some other
place...  No other platform uses config_opsysfile any more, so ideally
that would be removed altogether from conf_post.h.

ms-w32.h is kind of massive, so IMO it would be ugly for that to be in
conf_post.h; but since that platform uses an entirely different
config.nt, I don't see any reason for all that stuff to end up in
conf_post.h. I'd just have an extra section at the end of config.nt that
is not synced from config.in.


AMPERSAND_FULL_NAME and subprocesses obviously belong in configure.ac; I
moved them.
