* lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_re_escape): Escape ?, ^, \, $ too;
this fixes a bug tickled by the AT_CAPTURE_FILE change noted below.
Try not to generated lines of unlimited length, as POSIX places a
2047-byte limit on line length of portable text files.
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_SUBST, AC_SUBST_FILE):
Use newline as a separator, not space.
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_TESTED, AT_KEYWORDS): Likewise.
(AT_CAPTURE_FILE): Use space-backslash-newline as a separator, not
space.

* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (_AS_SHELL_FN_WORK): Move func_* to
as_func_*. Add test to check whether positional parameters
are restored after function return.
2005-02-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
* doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Mention _,
BIN_SH, DUALCASE. Say that variables other than "status" are safe
if they contain a lower-case letter. The DUALCASE problem was
reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
* bin/autoconf.as: Don't exit with status 0 after write failure
with --help or --version.
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_HELP, _AC_INIT_VERSION): Likewise.
* lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Likewise.

* doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools):
Unicos 9 sed limitations.
* lib/autoconf/fortran.m4 (_AC_PROG_FC): Try cf77 before fort77
to get the option-enhanced interface on older Crays. Try ftn for
Fortran 95 (newer Crays).

* man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Go back to the simple solution, but take
care to echo the commands, so the user knows what's going on.
Modified from a suggestion by Stepan Kasal.
* doc/autoconf.texi (autoreconf Invocation): Mention autopoint,
with a cross reference. Derived from a suggestion by Bruce Korb.

* doc/autoconf.texi (config.status Invocation): Warn about
