269df76643 AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS needs two lists: one, ac_subdirs_all, which
contains all the possible subdirs for `--help=recursive', and
another, `subdirs' which can be built dynamically for launching
sub configurations.

* acgeneral.m4 	(AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS): Define `subdirs' dynamically.
Define `ac_subdirs_all' statically.
Warn if the argument is not a literal.

* autoupdate.sh: Complete rewrite.  See that file for a detailed
explanation.  Basically, simulate the name spaces thanks to
`autoconf --trace' and auxiliary files.
No longer use `autoupdate.m4', remove the dependencies.
Synchronize the options and `--help'.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Invoking autoupdate): Humanoupdate.
* autoupdate.m4: Delete.
* tests/Makefile.am (FILTER_MACROS): Add `AC_OUTPUT'.
Since `AC_OUTPUT' is now AU_DEFUN'd, it is extracted for testing,
while it was not before.
* tests/tools.m4 (autoupdate): Re-enable.  Adjust the expected
output with the right quotation (yeah!).
Pass `-m $top_srcdir': autoupdate want the `.m4' files, not the
frozen files.
* Makefile.am (nodistpkgdataDATA): Move `acversion.m4' to
(distpkgdataDATA): here, so that all the `.m4' files are in the
source hierarchy, not split across src and build.
* acversion.m4.in: Update to today's standards.

Suggested by Jim Meyering.

* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_SHELL_TMPDIR): New macro.
(_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Use it.
Use more quoted here docs to improve readability.

single line.
Define `$SHELL' and use it.

mawk '{ sub (/foo/, foo++) }'                  -> 14s.
mawk '{ if ($0 ~ /foo/) sub (/foo/, foo++) }'  -> 0.03s.
mawk '{ sub (/foo/, foo) }'                    -> 0.03s.

afd63112d9 * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_HELP): Move --srcdir in the first
section.
Document --help=short and recursive.
Split the `Directory' section into `Installation directories' for
--prefix and --exec-prefix, and all the others into `Fine tuning
of the installation directories'.
In the latter, don't repeat `in DIR', the user understands, and it
comes out better.
Default for --exec-prefix is PREFIX.
Reported by Kathryn Hargreaves.

1a1ee72ec1 Speed ups.
* libm4.m4 (m4_append, m4_list_append): Use m4_define, not define.
On my machine the former implementation takes 4mn 40s to run the

m4_define, not define).  4mn.
(_AC_DIVERT): Don't use m4_case.  Starting from those 4mn, if you
just move NORMAL* first in m4_case, the test suite is run in 3mn.
If instead of using m4, you use an `associative array' plus a
wrapper (current implementation), it falls to 2mn.

Akim Demaille
00121046aa * acgeneral.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): When there were no
CONFIG_FILES, we had to expand _AC_OUTPUT_FILES into the KILL
diversion, because it is AC_OUTPUT_FILES which undiverted the
AC_SUBST sed script at its proper place, otherwise it would have
been undiverted at the end of `configure', leading to an sh syntax
error.
Now that we no longer use a diversion, we don't need to call
AC_OUTPUT_FILES if useless.
(AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Rename as _AC_OUTPUT_FILES.
(AC_OUTPUT_LINKS): Rename as _AC_OUTPUT_LINKS.

a892defcb3 AC_ARG_PROGRAM must not be expanded twice, which is likely since
Automake calls it, and usually users do too.  If it happens,
`--program-prefix=g' actually prepend two (or more) `g'.

* acgeneral.m4 (AC_DEFUN_ONCE): New macro.
(AC_ARG_PROGRAM): AC_DEFUNed_ONCE.  Or is it AC_DEFUN_ONCE'd? :).
No longer AC_EXPAND_ONCE the help string, the macro itself is
expanded at most once.
Rename the here-doc tag EOF_SED as EOF.

6b95f3a59e Simplify the diversions naming system.
Suggested by Alexandre Oliva and Lars J. Aas

* libm4.m4 (ifndef): New macro.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_DIVERT): New macro, maps a diversion name to
its value.  The diversions now have a short name, e.g., `NOTICE',
instead of the former macros which had long names, e.g.,
`AC_DIVERSION_NOTICE'.
(AC_DIVERT_PUSH): Adjust.
(AC_DIVERT_POP): Use ifndef.
(AC_DIVERSION_CURRENT): Rename as `AC_DIVERT_DIVERSION' to stay
within the `AC_DIVERT' name domain.

(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.

Use `$0' in --help.
* autoconf.sh: Likewise.

`m4_dnl'.

with m4 itself.

decoding the traces of the first.

code.

702e183cf6 Multiple `-e' to egrep are not portable. On IRIX 6.5 and Solaris
2.5.1 only the last one is honored:
  > echo "foonbar" | egrep -e 'foo' -e 'bar'
  bar
  > echo "foonbar" | egrep -e 'bar' -e 'foo'
  foo
Reported by Nicolas Joly.
An alternative would have to use `sed', unfortunately alternation
is not portable.

* tests/actest.m4 (join): New macro.
(AC_ENV_SAVE): Join the egrep patterns into a single big one.
* tests/Makefile.am (EGREP_EXCLUDE): Rename as FILTER_MACROS.

47f8108881 * acspecific.m4 (AC_SYS_RESTARTABLE_SYSCALLS): Added some missing

corrects the signal handler prototype/definition.  The signal
handler prototype is now prepended with an `extern "C"' for C++
compilers since some platforms explicitly require an `extern "C"'
signal handler.

fa98a48d2f The argument of AC_COPYRIGHT should be plain text, not an sh
comment.

* libm4.m4 (m4_quote): s/$@/$*/.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_COPYRIGHT): Prepend `# ' to the lines that goes
on the top of `configure'.  Actually, prepend `@%:@ ' so that
there are as many evaluations on both sides.

Any character before the colon is accepted because network drives
can be assigned characters outside the [a-zA-Z] range. DOS-style
