Rewrite the GNUMakefile.cfg as a plain shell script to use the same algorithm of building configuration tests on Windows and Unix.

• Key: STDCXX-739
• Type: Improvement
• Status: Open
• Priority: Minor

• Affects Version/s: 4.1.2, 4.1.3, 4.1.4, 4.2.0

Description

On the configuration step performed by Windows shell script (written on JScript).
On Unix the configuration step implemented in GNUmakefile.cfg. At the moment the order of building configuration tests is different between Windows and Unix; on Unix the some tests might be compiled twice (see STDCXX-737 issue).
Since the shell scripting provides more flexibility in implementing the configuration step algorithm, the GNUmakefile.cfg should be rewritten as a plain shell script to implement the same configuration algorithm as on Windows.
