* bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoheader.in, bin/autoreconf.in,
* bin/autoscan.in, autoupdate.in: Use exclusively the name of the
installed peer executables, only PATH is allowed to resolve it.
Pass `autoconf_dir' via options, not via invisible envvars.
* lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_peer): Remove.
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): `AUTOTEST_PATH=a:b' gives
`abuild:asrc:bbuild:bsrc', not `abuild:bbuild:asrc:bsrc'.
* man/Makefile.am: Let help2man rely on PATH instead of trying to
find the executables for it.
* tests/Makefile.am: Major cleanup. Too lazy to document...
* tests/atlocal.in: Remove all the obscure envvar manipulations.
We only need PERL.
* tests/atspecific.m4, tests/tools.at: Passing --localdir is
indeed related to running the test suite, while passing
--autoconf-dir and others is related to running non installed
Autoconf executables. So don't do that, leave it to...
* tests/autoconf, tests/autoheader, tests/autom4te, tests/autoupdate,
* tests/autoscan: New.
* tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_M4SUGAR, AT_CHECK_M4SH): Don't
refer to library files: rely on --language.

* autoconf.in: Likewise. Also don't rely on exit == exit $?.
* autoheader.in: Likewise.
* autoreconf.in: Likewise.
* tests/torture.at (Signal handling): New test for the above.
(AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Set `$as_me'.
* acgeneral.m4: Don't set as_me; AS_SHELL_SANITIZE now does this.
* tests/atgeneral.m4: Likewise.
(AT_INIT): Use $PATH_SEPARATOR for walking the path.
* autoconf.sh: Be DOS-friendly when setting as_me and M4.
Add quotes to support spaces in $tmp.
Work around problem in DJGPP port of awk by using a temporary file.
* autoheader.sh: Be DOS-friendly when setting as_me.
* autoreconf.sh: Be DOS-friendly when setting as_me, dir and
template_dir.
(edit).
* m4sh.m4 (AS_UNAME): Eved out from...
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): here.
(_AC_INIT_PACKAGE): Define AC_PACKAGE_NAME.
(_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): AC_SUBST the PACKAGE_ variables.
Propagate their use in the executables and the test suite.
* tests/atgeneral.m4 (PATH): Include only absolute paths.
(AT_INIT): Use AS_UNAME.
* autoreconf.sh: Likewise.
* autoheader.sh: Ditto.
* autoupdate.sh: Similarly.
* doc/autoconf.texi: Adjust.
* tests/atspecific.m4: Be sure to remove configure.in.
Adjust the test suite to use `configure.ac'.
From Paul Eggert and Johan Danielsson.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools) <sed>:
Reorganize. Document this issue.
* autoupdate.sh (dir): Use `,' as separator instead of `/'
* autoreconf.sh: Likewise.
* autoupdate.sh: Ditto.
long options - it's hard to maintain them by hand.
* autoheader.sh: Likewise.
* autoreconf.sh: Likewise.
* autoupdate.sh: Likewise.
* ifnames.sh: Likewise.
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.
* autoreconf.sh: Likewise.
* autoupdate.sh: Likewise.
* autoconf.sh: Change `exit' to `{ (exit 1); exit; }' after m4 and
awk commands to ensure exit state is in a defined state.
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.
* autoheader.sh: Likewise.
* autoscan.sh: Likewise.
* autoupdate.sh: Likewise.
Use $optarg.
* autoreconf.sh: Likewise.
* doc/autoconf.texi: Adjust.
* tests: Adjust the test suite.
* autoheader.sh: Be more verbose, and always report your name in
verbose messages.
* autoconf.sh: Likewise.
* autoreconf.sh: Likewise.
(update.sh): Redirect ls's stderr to /dev/null.
* autoreconf.sh (update.sh): Use `ls -1dt' instead of `-lt'.
Use test instead of sed.
<automake>: If automake is used, always run it: it has its own
mechanism not to update if unneeded.
`aclocal.m4' and that of the location Autoconf extensions.
(-M, --m4dir): New option.
(aclocal_flags): Do not use $localdir, but $m4dir.
(localdir_opt): Remove, since $autoconf, $autoheader already
include `-l $localdir'.
* autoreconf.sh: Don't run automake when the package is not using
it.
When checking whether autoheader should be rerun, don't ask
config.h to be newer than stamp-h and vice-versa.
Remove an unbalanced `fi'.
(alflags.sed): New sub sed program.
Compute the flags of aclocal from Makefile.am instead of
Makefile.in, it is unlikely that aclocal be used but not automake,
while it is convenient to be able to run autoreconf even if
automake was not run yet.
Use `autoconf --trace' to get the list of configuration headers.
$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.
`yo-man-i-am-the-all-mighty-AVt0c0nF-eh-eh'. But when
`yo-man-i-am-the-all-mighty-AVt0h3Ad3R-eh-eh' and the other tools
want to trace, they might stupidly invoke the program named
`autoconf' instead. Pfff, stupid scripts :)
* Makefile.am (editsh): Transfer the names of the install
`autoconf' and `autoheader'.
* autoconf.sh: Add a missing period at the end of the comment
# Parse command line
Make sure to have a ChangeLog much longer than the patch.
* autoheader.sh: Use the right `autoconf'.
* autoupdate.sh: Likewise.
* autoreconf.sh: Likewise, and for `autoheader' too.
Simplify the handling of localdir and AC_MACRODIR.
* ifnames.sh: Formatting changes.
* autoheader.sh: s/-eq/=/.
Uniform ordering of variable initializations, option handling.
Don't use quotes where useless (foo=$1, not foo="$1").
Propagate `run_m4' and `run_m4f'.
Use `$0' in --help.
* autoconf.sh: Likewise.
* autoreconf.sh: Likewise.
* autoupdate.sh: Likewise.
* ifnames.sh: Likewise.
* autoupdate.m4: Small bug: at the end `dnl' is disabled, so use
`m4_dnl'.
Reported by Franc,ois Pinard and Rainer Orth.
* autoreconf.sh: Removed spurious `;;'.
Formatting changes.
* tests/tools.m4 (Syntax of the scripts): Run `sh -n' on all the
shell scripts.
* autoconf.sh: Give your name while reporting errors.
Don't spit --help for errors on arguments.
* autoreconf.sh: Likewise.
* autoheader.sh: Likewise.
More temporary files that one can browse when debugging.
Don't ${var}, just $var.
Don't dump --help when the arguments are invalid.
(config_h): Use the empty value instead of `undefined' to check
that it is defined.
* acspecific.m4: Formatting changes.
