	Hmmm, then how to avoid:

./configure: 5403: Syntax error: "!" unexpected

	with the original "if x86 && ! cygwin; then"?

	"test x86 -a ! cygwin"

	should be ok.  According to the man page for test(1):

	! expression  True if expression is false.

	and the '-a' should be equivalent to '&&'.

	I wonder if this is all due to 'sh' != 'bash' on some systems.   Perhaps
	the original 'if' uses a bash'ism?

	Cheers,
	Steven
