I meant: the shells included in Cygwin are not representative of all the
weird old /bin/sh shells out there in Unix-land, on which people like to
build Emacs one week before (or after) the release, only to find it does
not configure.

It's trivial to avoid any problem. We already spent more time talking
about it than it would take to just fix it.
