Re: Fix for ifnames and test for it

I answered too fast, sorry.

        # Insert FILENAME into files[sym], keeping the list sorted.
        i = 1
        fs = files[sym]
        while (match(substr(fs, i), /^ [^ ]*/) \
-              && substr(fs, i + 1, RLENGTH - 1) < FILENAME)
-        {
+              && substr(fs, i + 1, RLENGTH - 1) < FILENAME) {
          i += RLENGTH
        }

Are you really sure we need this?  I don't think so.  I am not in
favor of this change.  In regard to the code of autoconf.sh only END
deserves this special treatment.  Since, IMHO, the change above is
obfuscating the code, I'm not in favor of it.
