Re: Absolute srcdir

Ralf Corsepius sent me this morning a detailed PR with about the same
behavior.  I'm highly tempted to consider this a bash bug, unless
someone can demonstrate the usefulness of the following feature...

/tmp/build % cat /tmp/foo.sh                                     nostromo 19:22
#! /bin/sh

case "/foo" in
 [/\\]*) echo 1;;
esac

case "/foo" in
 /* | \\*) echo 2;;
esac

case "/foo" in
 [\\/]*) echo 3;;
esac

case "\foo" in
 [/\\]*) echo 1;;
esac

case "\foo" in
 /* | \\*) echo 2;;
esac

case "\foo" in
 [\\/]*) echo 3;;
esac
/tmp/build % bash /tmp/foo.sh                                    nostromo 19:24

I suppose we should drop the use of [] here.  Pfff.
