Configure does not run on our latest (and greatest :-) version of aix
that we have here.  The problem is with null strings inside case statements. 
For example, if I execute the following shell script under aix, I 
get "Didn't work.":

case "" in
"") echo Worked.
;;
*) echo "Didn't work."
;;
esac

Has anyone else come across this problem and solved it already?
