I can't find this node in the 2.13 manual, but then I have a hard time
finding _anything_ in the autoconf info-pages.  :( 

At any rate, I didn't write that code -- and I'm not particularly attached
to it -- I just wanted it to _work_, since I was tired of editing
tn5250-config.h manually... :)

Your patch appears to work just fine.  

I've got a few other things I'd like to fix in the configuration stuff,
since there's a lot of steps you have to take manually on FreeBSD systems
right now  (you have to patch xt5250, replace XTerm, install termcap
entry, etc)   Should I try to avoid calling anything from the shell in
configure.in?
