processing of options. Process options with values separated by
"=" first, so that abbreviations work. Don't accept "=" with
short options.

(_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Trap after having created config.log.
Also trap on 0.
When trapped, report why in config.log.
(AC_MSG_WARN, AC_MSG_ERROR): Also output the message in

AC_DEFINE/AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED. Only literals can be traced, and
actually tracing non literals produces invalid autoheader input.
Hence, provide a means to trace calls to
AC_DEFINE/AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED with literals.

(AC_DEFINE, AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED): Use AC_DEFINE_TRACE.

instead of reinventing the wheel. This also takes care of a bug
where the "-g" option was accepted if the compiler silently exits
with status unequal to 0.
(_AC_PROG_CXX_G): Likewise.
(AC_PROG_CC): As _AC_PROG_CC_G depends on $ac_objext and
$ac_exeext, move the expansion of _AC_OBJEXT and _AC_EXEEXT in
front of _AC_PROG_CC_G.
