i tend to agree as well ...
btw which OS / shells are affected by the change?
if its just some old outdated stuff it probably wont do much harm to
remove, OTOH if this means loosing support for some major shell/os it
seems like a really stupid change. Also it will be used as argument
in favor of auto* if our configure cannot be used on some system where
auto* can
