I would really like SCRIPTLET_SHELL to still be at test run time. My system pacman may have a different shell that the one built in the source tree. Keep it defaulting to the configured value, but changeable.

Hiya, Allan: the autoconf tools (assuming VPATH builds work) already provide everything needed to achieve your goal: just configure a builddir --with-scriptlet-shell matching your system pacman. There's really no need to ever have to type the scriptlet shell more than once (as an arg to configure). Or are you scheming for a RSI worker's comp settlement?

So I need to reconfigure in a different directory to run with different pacman? No thanks. Allan
