Will do... Did that.

Do you think that there's some reason not-to merge it? I mean if fopen(".") throws an error, FREAD_READS_DIRECTORIES will NOT be defined - as is it now.

I don't know how many people cares about configure script since there are missing bits in it again and again. I believe it could receive good amount of testing only when it's merged in.

I'm trying to make GIT working on HPUX - next patch in my queue is about broken vsnprintf() that returns -1 on maxsize overrun. Do you think that it's more likely that patch will be accepted when I omit "broken vsnprintf()" detection code from configure.ac?
