(1) I'm completely baffled by the point of this.
It seems to be included to allow compilation on some obscure system,
but it prevents compilation under Linux (Slackware 1.1.1)
until one adds the compilation flag -D_NO_FOIL_X_WCHAR_T
in the MFwindows Makefile or Makefile.in .
(2) configure on Mips fails because of the call to awk.
This goes haywire when it reads a line with an unterminated quote.
/CONFIG_FILES=.*/ { print "CONFIG_FILES=${CONFIG_FILES-\"Makefile\"}"
next }
I don't think it is completely clear that this should match the line
CONFIG_FILES="xyz \
(3) The definition of the TEXINPUTDIR, etc, are very convoluted,
since so many places seem able to add their contributions.
I feel at the least this should be documented in README or INSTALL.
I gave up trying to fight Karl's system,
and just added symbolic links to the actual directories.
