and use with caution an Autoconf with ``Important bugs''.

* Now that configure depends on shell functions, it is possible that

  configure scripts may fail to run on old platforms that lack a shell

  with proper function support.

* Autotest parallel testsuite support is still a work in progress.

  There are known issues in job handling under dash and some ksh

  variants, where a parallel testsuite can hang or cause a 100%

  processor load.  In the current release, the overall autoconf

  testsuite only exercises parallel autotest under bash and zsh, or if

  you have defined TEST_PARALLEL_AUTOTEST in the environment.

  Meanwhile, Cygwin has known problems with named fifos that cause

  failures when attempting parallel tests in an autotest suite.  It is

  possible that other difficulties will be encountered, whether with

  shell or platform limitations; help is appreciated in improving

  parallel testsuite support.
