Re: bzconfig port

[Todd V. <tve...@ex...>]

Sounds great.  Please do.  I'd be happy to throw out my bzconfig
script in favour of a c++ aware autoconf.  One small note: discard
the tempstat.cpp test, it turns out this behaviour is not guaranteed
by the standard.

Offhand I can't think of any compilers which compile but fail a
test.

Cheers,
Todd
