is the EOL marker, skip a step that would remove and translate
carriage return bytes.
* THANKS: Update.

+dnl See if CR is the EOL marker.  If not, remove any EOL-related
+dnl ^M bytes and escape any remaining ones.  If so, just use mv.
+dnl In case you're wondering how ^M bytes can make it into subs1.awk,
+dnl [from Ralf Wildenhues] one way is if you have e.g.,
+dnl AC_SUBST([variable_that_contains_cr], ["
+dnl "])
+dnl The original aim was that users should be able to substitute any
+dnl characters they like (except for \0).  And the above is not so
+dnl unlikely if the configure script itself happens to be converted
+dnl to w32 text mode.
