Handle arbitrary version numbers.
Reported by H.J. Lu.
* acgeneral.m4 (m4_split): Support a second optional argument: a
regexp to specify where to split.
(m4_compare): New macro, compares arbitrary long m4 lists of
integers.
(AC_PREREQ_SPLIT, AC_PREREQ_CANON, AC_PREREQ_COMPARE): Removed,
replaced by more generic macros.
(AC_PREREQ): Reimplemented, using m4_compare and m4_split.
Make the handling of the configuration links (AC_LINK_FILES)
exactly the same as that of configurations files (AC_OUTPUT_FILES)
and headers (AC_CONFIG_HEADERS). As a result, it is sane to run
./config.status src/libmy_lib
or
CONFIG_LINKS=src/lib_mylib:lib/lib_mylib ./config.status
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_LINK_FILES): Use AC_FATAL to diagnose bad
number of argument.
Obsoleted (but implemented) in favor of AC_CONFIG_LINKS.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CONFIG_LINKS): New macro. Takes space
separated list of DEST:SOURCES arguments.
* acgeneral.m4: Rename each occurence of AC_LIST_HEADER as
AC_LIST_HEADERS for consistency.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT, config.status prologue): Move the
definition of config_files and config_headers to the top.
Add the definition of config_links.
Change the help message to use the aforementioned variables.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_LINKS): Adapted to the new scheme of
AC_LIST_LINKS.
* autoconf.texi (Output, AC_OUTPUT): Mention AC_CONFIG_LINKS.
(Invoking config.status): Mention CONFIG_LINKS.
* autoconf.texi (Using System Type): Document AC_CONFIG_LINKS.
Explicit the obsoleteness of AC_LINK_FILES.

into the experimental branch
(tag:experimental-pre-merge-trunk-into-experimental-1999-10-01).
Result is tagged
experimental-post-merge-trunk-into-experimental-1999-10-01.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_WRAP): Rewritten.
(AC_HELP_STRING): Wrapper of AC_WRAP.
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_SH_QUOTE): Rewritten. Don't try to handle
both backslashed and non backslashed backquotes in a single
string: consider that either all the backquotes are quoted, or
none.

* acgeneral.m4 (AC_PATH_PROG): Use a single case statement for
Unix and DOS absolute paths.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_SIZEOF): Fix a typo.
Allow a third default argument: extra headers.
* autoconf.texi (C Compiler Characteristics): Document.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_TYPE): Convert to the AC_VAR_* family.
Allow a third optional argument: extra includes.
* autoconf.texi (Generic Typedefs): Documents.

* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT, handling of options): Make it possible
to specify the files to configure on the command line instead of
via envvars. Document it.

* acgeneral.m4: Rename the occurences of the variable `confstat'
as `ac_cs_root'. The previous name was breaking the naming
scheme.
* TODO: Updated.
Added a section for 2.15 and 3.
