Return back to GPLv2+, until the text of the exceptions is
finalized, reverting the change from 2007-07-03 and the first
part of the change from 2007-07-20.
Also:
* COPYING: Revert to GPLv2.
* COPYINGv3: New file, since some auxiliary build tools, used for
building autoconf and not installed, are GPLv3.
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute COPYINGv3.
* NEWS: Remove mention of GPLv3.
* README: Clarify situation regarding GPLv3.

AC_CHECK_TYPE, AC_CHECK_TYPES.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Generic types): C types must be type-names
(the C terminology), not type-ids (the C++ term). C++ types
must not be anonymous.
* lib/autoconf/types.m4 (_AC_CHECK_TYPE_NEW): Remove special case
for C++; this drops support for anonymous struct and union types,
which were problematic anyway.
* tests/semantics.at (AC_CHECK_HEADERS_NEW): Adjust test to work even
for C++.
Factor out the warning to...
(_AC_TOOL_WARN): ... this new macro; use `cross_compiling'.
* tests/local.at (AT_CHECK_MACRO_CROSS): Avoid this warning.
* tests/semantics.at (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Likewise.
allow to pass unnamed structs even in C++.
(AC_CHECK_SIZEOF): Likewise.
Also fix quoting error in `AC_MSG_FAILURE' arguments.

struct): New tests for unnamed structs, each both native and
cross-compiling.
and improve the sed-related documentation a bit.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Installation Directory Variables): Use
our own style advice re 's,a,b,' versus 's|a|b|'. Use "Sed"
rather than "sed" when talking about Sed in general.
(Particular Programs): Likewise.
(Coding Style): y is like s with respect to / and ,.
(Limitations of Usual Tools): Document the weird restrictions
that Posix has about { }. Use better quoting.
* lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES_PREPARE, _AC_OUTPUT_HEADER):
Rewrite to conform to Posix rules about { } in sed scripts.
* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_DIRNAME_SED, AS_BASENAME_SED): Likewise.
* tests/foreign.at (Libtool): Likewise.

Use our own style advice re 's,a,b,' versus 's|a|b|'.

newline, or "\".
* doc/autoconf.texi (Installation Directory Variables): Allow
"," in file names. Do not use \@; it's not a portable regexp.

(Standard regular expressions): New test.
(m4_warn, m4_require: circular dependencies, m4_text_wrap): Strip
excess test name quoting.
* tests/semantics.at (AC_CHECK_HEADERS_OLD, AC_CHECK_HEADERS_NEW): Pass
CPPFLAGS to `configure' instead of setting it in `configure'.
* bin/autoupdate.in (&parse_args): Kill old options.
* bin/autoreconf.in (&parse_args): Remove dead options.
Factor some code.
(&autoreconf): Report the directories we enter *and leave*, so
that error messages can be easily located, and use GNU Make
format, so that Emacs' compile mode understands us.
* lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&update_file): Use `verbose' to report
if some file was changed instead of `print'.
* bin/autoheader.in: Suggest AC_DEFINE with 3 args when needed.
