functions, no longer use `&' to call functions as it disables
prototype checking, topological sort so that functions are defined
before being used, and put an Autoconf like nice comment to
describe the functions.

Adjust the test suite to use `configure.ac'.
(AC_PROG_CXXCPP, AC_PROG_CPP): Set the current language instead of
just asserting it, since these macros can be called directly.
Reported by Raja R. Harinath.
* autoheader.sh: When loading trace.sh, catch errors and exit with
a decent error message.
* tests/tools.at: Be sure to test autoconf --trace before
autoheader.
(m4_cr_letters, m4_cr_LETTERS, m4_cr_Letters, m4_cr_digits)
(m4_cr_symbols1, m4_cr_symbols2, m4_re_string, m4_re_word)
(m4_init): New macros.
(m4_token_allow): Remove.
* acgeneral.m4: Don't push BODY into the diversion stack.

Call m4_init, define the Autoconf patterns.
(AC_INIT): Use AC_PLAIN_SCRIPT.
Remove the useless `dnl' (those where the current diversion is
KILL).

(finalize.awk): Load forbidden.rx and allowed.rx.
Split the line into tokens, and check their validity.

`acconfig.h', `config.h.top', and `config.h.bot'.
Reported by Aharon Robbins.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Making configure Scripts)
(Automatic Remaking, Defining Symbols, Distributing): Forget about
these files.
(acconfig.h): Reword.
Display the old scheme presenting the dependencies between input
and output files.
(Changed File Names): Clarify.
obsolete options to stderr. Adjust list of options. Correct
processing of options. Process options with values separated by
"=" first, so that abbreviations work. Don't accept "=" with
short options.
* autoheader.sh: Likewise.
* autoreconf.sh: Likewise.
* autoupdate.sh: Likewise.
* ifnames.sh: There is no "--verbose" option.
* doc/autoconf.texi: Option "-A" requires an argument.
(autoreconf Invocation): Document "--install", "--symlink",
"--m4dir" and the options passed to Automake.
In fact, rename this option as -A, --autoconf-dir.
* autoconf.sh: Complain when -m, --macrodir is used.
Accept -A, --autoconf-dir.
Use $autoconf_dir instead of $AC_MACRODIR.
Adjust --help.

* doc/autoconf.texi: Adjust.
* tests: Adjust the test suite.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_SHELL_DIRNAME): When using m4 the argument
is named `$1' not `$dir'.
When using m4 you ought to quote properly.
When using m4, you should check that there are not too many shell
quotes (inside the macro itself, and where it is called).
When you do this, Autoconf, hm, works better.
$AUTOMAKE and $ACLOCAL.
Pass --verbose to the tools.
Avoid using plenty of variables, just append to existing
variables.
* doc/autoconf.texi: List options in the order --help, --version,
--verbose, --debug, and then specific options.
(AC_INIT): Dispatch your arguments either to _AC_INIT_PACKAGE or
to AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR.
(AU::AC_INIT): New.

Use `#', not `dnl'.

* autoupdate.sh: Complete rewrite. See that file for a detailed
explanation. Basically, simulate the name spaces thanks to
`autoconf --trace' and auxiliary files.
No longer use `autoupdate.m4', remove the dependencies.
Synchronize the options and `--help'.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Invoking autoupdate): Humanoupdate.
* autoupdate.m4: Delete.
* tests/Makefile.am (FILTER_MACROS): Add `AC_OUTPUT'.
Since `AC_OUTPUT' is now AU_DEFUN'd, it is extracted for testing,
while it was not before.
* tests/tools.m4 (autoupdate): Re-enable. Adjust the expected
output with the right quotation (yeah!).
Pass `-m $top_srcdir': autoupdate want the `.m4' files, not the
frozen files.
* Makefile.am (nodistpkgdataDATA): Move `acversion.m4' to
(distpkgdataDATA): here, so that all the `.m4' files are in the
source hierarchy, not split across src and build.
* acversion.m4.in: Update to today's standards.
* Makefile.am: Adjust.

(AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS_CNT): Renamed as...
(_AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS_CNT): this.

`acconfig.h', just dump everything into `config.h.in'.
Implement support for `--warnings'.
Warn the users that these auxiliary files are obsolete when `-W
obsolete'.
