Announcing autoconf version 2.60 for Interix.

This is an update from the previous release.
All tests pass BTW.

How did you pass the tests?
My tests looked like this:

ERROR: 279 tests were run,
10 failed (5 expected failures).
7 tests were skipped.
## -------------------------- ##
## testsuite.log was created. ##
## -------------------------- ##

Please send `tests/testsuite.log' and all information you think might help:

   To: <bug-autoconf@gnu.org>
   Subject: [GNU Autoconf 2.60] testsuite: 3 15 80 87 92 failed

System: Interix 5.2 (SUA) with GNU make 3.81 and GNU m4 1.4.5 - no /tools or other custom builds installed.
It seems to me that the tests rely on which sed utility being used. I will try the tests again with GNU sed 4.1.5 when I have a proper sed build. What sed did you use?

I just got the tests to run. The only comment I kept in
my notes was that it takes forever to run all the tests.
I did the build on Interix 3.5 and used make,
sed and m4 that are BSD based. The twist
may be that these versions are the updated versions that
are for a project currently called "Moltres".
If tests pass, I usually don't wonder why

My older notes do show that previous version builds used gm4
and gmake (no GNU sed).

Vista version? If so, is that very different from the recent beta2 Vista release of Interix?

So maybe if I try plain original SUA utilities instead of mixing GNU and Interix will do the trick?

The final Vista versions of the utilities are based on the Moltres code.
There are some differences. Vista Beta2 does not have the updated utilities.
The first chance for testing them will be with Vista RC1.
