|   Modified files:
|     bin/sh               redir.c 
|   Log:
|   Added ability to do ">/dev/stdout". The apsfilter people are anxious
|   to get it MFCed in time for release 4.5.
|   
|   MFC after: 2 weeks
|   
|   Revision  Changes    Path
|   1.14      +2 -4      src/bin/sh/redir.c

This change breaks autoconf (and probably more things).  Autoconf is a
big ugly shell script, and uses some redirection magic to send things to
the 'configure' file (which it generates from configure.in):

if test $# -eq 0; then
  exec 4> configure; chmod +x configure
else
  exec 4>&1
fi

I'm not a shell script guru by any means, but when I was debugging this
problem I saw this redirect stuff in autoconf and thought of this
change (because everything was working OK on a -current from dec 1st,
and just broke today when I upgraded to today's -current).

Before redir.c rev 1.14, configure gets created by autoconf and has the
configure script in it.  With this patch, configure gets created but the
actual contents go to stdout.
