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.
Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
* lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm (handle_exec_errors): New argument
$hint, show if the executing program does not exist.
(xsystem_hint): New function, like xsystem but allows to pass
a hint.
* bin/autoreconf.in: Use xsystem_hint for spawning autopoint and
libtoolize.
Report by Bruce Korb.

This includes escaping of characters special to the shell
as well as special to Perl, e.g., leading `<' or `>'.
For example, when $file starts with `>', `open ">$file"'
wrongly tries to append to a different file.
* bin/autoconf.as: Fix quoting for autom4te options.
* lib/Autom4te/General.pm (shell_quote): New function, taken
from coreutils, written by Jim Meyering.
(mktmpdir): Use it.
* bin/autom4te.in (files_to_options, handle_m4): Use shell_quote
and open_quote.
* bin/autoreconf.in (parse_args): Likewise.
* bin/autoscan.in (main): Likewise.
* bin/autoupdate.in (main): Likewise.
* bin/autoheader.in: Likewise, fixing old insufficient escaping.
* bin/ifnames.in: Likewise, XFile usage fixes.
* tests/tools.at (autom4te and whitespace in file names): Extend
test. Test twice, with special characters allowed on w32, and the
rest. Test leading and trailing whitespace, for `open_quote'.
(autotools and whitespace in file names): New, analogous test.
Reported by Paul Eggert and Benoit Sigoure, additional suggestions
by Russ Allbery and Eric Blake.
* lib/Autom4te/Channels.pm, lib/Autom4te/Configure_ac.pm,
lib/Autom4te/Struct.pm, lib/Autom4te/XFile.pm: Likewise.
* lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm (open_quote): New function.
(update_file, contents): Use it.
* aclocal.m4: Remove.
* configure: Remove.
* Makefile.in: Remove, along with all other Makefile.in in subdirs.
* .gitignore: Add aclocal.m4, configure and Makefile.in. Sort.
* README-hacking: New file: how to build from just-checked-out sources.
* build-aux/install-sh (posix_mkdir): Reject FreeBSD 6.1 mkdir -p -m,
which incorrectly sets the mode of an existing destination
directory. In some cases the unpatched install-sh could do the
equivalent of "chmod 777 /" or "chmod 0 /" on a buggy FreeBSD
system. We hope this is rare in practice, but it's clearly worth
fixing. Problem reported by Alex Unleashed in
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2006-10/msg00012.html>.
Also, don't bother to check for -m bugs unless we're using -m;
suggested by Stepan Kasal.

Import this change from Automake:
2006-08-23 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
* lib/Autom4te/ChannelDefs.pm (usage): Mention that -Wportability
is enabled by default with gnu and gnits strictness.
Report from Bruno Haible.
2006-03-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
* lib/Autom4te/ChannelDefs.pm: Make -Wportability the default in
gnu and gnits modes.
Import this change from Config:
2006-09-20 Ben Elliston <bje@gnu.org>
* build-aux/config.sub (score, score-*): New.
Import this change from Gnulib:
2006-09-16 Karl Berry <karl@gnu.org>
* doc/fdl.texi (ADDENDUM): switch to @heading from @appendixsubsec,
to avoid sectioning errors.
Import these changes from Texinfo:
2006-10-04 Karl Berry <karl@gnu.org>
* build-aux/texinfo.tex (\singlequotechar): rename to \codequoteright.
(\quoteexpand): rename to \rquoteexpand.
(\codequoteleft): new def, to look for @set codequotebacktick.
(\lquoteexpand, \quoteexpand): new defs.
(\lquoteChar, \rquoteChar, \dashChar, \underChar: new \chardef's.
(\code): must use new \...Char values, since now ` is active.
2006-08-26 Karl Berry <karl@gnu.org>
* build-aux/texinfo.tex (\textdegree): New command.
2006-08-12 Karl Berry <karl@gnu.org>
* build-aux/texinfo.tex (error \box0): smaller font.
* lib/Autom4te/XFile.pm (lock): Allow EOPNOTSUPP, besides
ENOLCK. Only mention `make -j' when applicable. Only raise
fatal errors when `make -j' is involved. Improve error message.
lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm, lib/Automake/Struct.pm: Sync from
Automake as follows:
* lib/Autom4te/Configure_ac.pm (find_configure_ac): Use
`$configure_in' instead of `configure.in', to preserve
directory component.
* doc/make-stds.texi, doc/standards.texi: Update from masters.
* lib/Autom4te/Channels.pm, lib/Autom4te/Configure_ac.pm
* lib/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm, lib/Autom4te/XFile.pm: Update
from masters, so that FileUtils.pm's update_file provide --force
support.
* bin/autoheader.in: Pass $force to update_file so that
config.h.in is always recreated when --force.
so that ac_abs_builddir, ac_abs_top_builddir, ac_abs_srcdir,
and ac_abs_top_srcdir are absolute paths.
* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SET_CATFILE): Remove misleading comment.
