* NEWS: New macro AC_CACHE_CHECK_INT. It replaces the

old AC_COMPUTE_INT, which now behaves like _AC_COMPUTE_INT
except the first two arguments are reversed.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Caching Results): New macro AC_CACHE_CHECK_INT.
(Generic Compiler Characteristics): AC_COMPUTE_INT no longer
caches nor outputs a diagnostic.  Suggested by Bruno Haible.
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_CACHE_CHECK_INT): New macro,
equivalent to the old AC_COMPUTE_INT.
(AC_COMPUTE_INT): No longer caches or reports.  New signature.
All uses changed to AC_CACHE_CHECK_INT.
* tests/base.at (AC_CACHE_CHECK_INT): New test.
* tests/mktests.sh (ac_exclude_lsit): Add AC_CACHE_CHECK_INT.

New programs should use the Gnulib counterparts of these macros.
We have no current plans to remove them from Autoconf.
** AC_CACHE_CHECK_INT
New macro, with the behavior of the 2.60a AC_COMPUTE_INT macro.
AC_COMPUTE_INT no longer caches or reports results.
* Major changes in Autoconf 2.60a (2006-08-25)
** GNU M4 1.4.6 or later is now recommended. At least one "make check"

hosts that use twos-complement arithmetic), it should be possible to evaluate
the expression at compile-time. If no @var{includes} are specified, the default
includes are used (@pxref{Default Includes}).
The macro also takes care of checking if the result is already in the

@code{AC_MSG_RESULT}.
If the value cannot be determined correctly, the code in @var{if-fails}

This is a convenience macro for invoking @code{AC_COMPUTE_INT} to store
into @var{cache-id} the value of the integer @var{expression}.
This macro also checks whether the result is cached,
and reports the test on the standard output
with @code{AC_MSG_CHECKING} (which prints @var{message}) and
