Related to that point, I notice a piece of code starting "we might need to
use some other shell than /bin/sh for running subshells" that tries to
determine a shell on Windows hosts. It's autoconf's job to find a
suitable shell, so if this code is still relevant I think there's
something missing in autoconf.
