* autoheader.sh: No longer try to select the needed paragraphs of
`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'.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Invoking autoheader): Adjust.
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_SH_QUOTE): Don't double quote. Escape the
double quotes too.
(_AC_ECHO_UNQUOTED): Don't double quote :).
(_AC_ECHO, _AC_ECHO_N): Quote the call to _AC_SH_QUOTE.
The autoheader chain needs to be adjusted.
* acgeneral.m4 (AH_VERBATIM): Just pass two arguments to AH_OUTPUT
instead of trying to build what `autoheader' needs: let it handle
the format by itself.
* autoheader.m4: Adjust.
s,tmp/config.h,tmp/config.hin.
The adjustment revealed that `autoconf --trace' is not robust to
single quotes in its argument.
* autoconf.sh: Fix this issue.
Rename the escape `$*' as `$%'. Implement `$@'.
* doc/autoconf.texi: Adjust.
changing value. On the `configure' script of the fileutils:
mawk '{ sub (/foo/, foo++) }' -> 14s.
mawk '{ if ($0 ~ /foo/) sub (/foo/, foo++) }' -> 0.03s.
mawk '{ sub (/foo/, foo) }' -> 0.03s.
* autoconf.sh (task script, AWK script): Run `sub (__oline__,
oline)' only in the lines that match `__oline__'.
Suggested by Paul Eggert.
* autoconf.sh: Use it when possible to create the dir $tmp.
Stop using variables for tmp files, use their names in $tmp.
[install]: Use the new features of autoconf --trace.
to systems without a real /dev/stderr in the file system or if not
using one of the three free awks. Use

END { close("cat >&2") }
From Aharon Robbins.
record, this is not portable: mawk and nawk understand it as RS =
"". gawk understands it as expected.
* autoconf.sh (translate_awk::BEGIN): No longer change RS.
(translate_awk::body): Move to the END.
Instead, accumulate the input in `request'.
file names.
(translate_awk::BEGIN): Set RS to "0" so that the whole file be a
single record.
(translate_awk::trans): Convert from array to function.
(translate_awk::error): New function.
(translate_awk::main action): Implement support for ${sep}@ and
${sep}*. Use trans() and error().
(translate_awk): Don't put space before user functions call, it is
not portable.
Remove trailing `;', this is not C :).
(task trace): Quote `$traces' when you eval it, to protect the
white spaces.
Propagate `translate_awk' failures to `autoconf.sh'.
Translate the quadrigraphs.
* 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'.
Also remove trailing blanks.
* tests/Makefile.am (testsuite): Use sed instead of cat.
* tests/torture.m4: No longer check for a trailing space.
* autoconf.sh: Likewise.
* 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.
Make autoconf support --install.
* autoconf.sh (task install): New task. Extract the set of
auxiliary m4 files a configure.in depends upon. Install links
from library files to the local dir so that the packages depends
only on local extensions. Check that the user includes exactly
the files she needs.
Require GNU m4 1.4 (well 1.3 in fact).
Because we are ready to handle the case where there are no frozen
files, we *have* to pass a -I, which is dangerous in conjunction
with the silent including of `aclocal.m4': you may include things
that were not expected. Since anyway handling pre 1.3 complicates
the task, just require an m4 which supports reloading of frozen
files.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_GNU_M4): Check for --reload.
* autoconf.sh: Likewise
* autoheader.sh: Likewise.
* configure.in: Explicitly state the m4 version you want.
Be kind to Automake: list the arguments of selected macros
(for instance AC_SUBST will list each variable which may be
substitued).
* autoconf.sh (--trace, --output): New options.
Implement tracing of macros.
trap also on 0, so that there is no need to rm here and there.
* autoconf.texi (Output): Document --trace and --output.
Fix the --version of all the executables.
* Makefile.am (editsh, editpl): Substitute also PACKAGE and
VERSION.
* autoconf.sh (version): New string.
(--version): Use it.
(--help) Output on stdout, not stderr.
* autoheader.sh: Likewise.
* autoreconf.sh: Likewise.
* autoscan.pl: Likewise.
* autoupdate.sh: Likewise.
* ifnames.sh: Likewise.
* autoconf.sh (Checking for Bugs): Remove the indirection that
made the `sort -u' useless.
1999-09-21 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* autoconf.sh (Last sed cmd): Change also @PND@ to `#', since this
is also a symbol very hard to quote in m4.
1999-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* autoconf.sh: Substitute also /@BKL@/[/ /@BKR@/]/ /@DLR@/$/ so
that these characters are more easily accessible from m4 without
turning changequote juggling into a nightmare.
