_//_ _\_ The ``Eiffel Tower'' Release
* 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.
* Makefile.am: Adjust.

/===+ / It bells, It whistles...
* autoupdate.sh: Complete rewrite. See that file for a detailed
explanation.
* acgeneral.sh: Don't use AU_DEFINE, but AU_DEFUN.
(AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS_CNT): Renamed as...
(_AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS_CNT): this.
From Jim Meyering.
* autoheader.sh (usage): The usage is to use $0 here.
(ah_base): Be in TMPDIR.
Install the `trap' before creating the first tmp file.
Also trap on 0.
given in the prologue of acobsolete.m4.
* acgeneral.m4 (Prologue): Enter the `autoconf' name space.
(AU_DEFUN): New macro.
* autoupdate.m4: New file.
Disable the name spaces `autoconf', and `libm4'. Disable libm4.
* Makefile.am: Tuned to support the changes above.
* autoupdate.sh: Model after autoconf.sh.
Can run on several files at once (for instance m4/*.m4).
Don't touch files that are up to date.
Run m4 on autoupdate.m4f instead of playing with sed.
Use AU_DEFUN.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_LINK_FILES, AC_ENABLE, AC_WITH): Use AU_DEFUN,
remove the call to AC_OBSOLETE.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_CYGWIN32): Likewise.
* acoldnames.m4: Replaced all the definitions via `define' or
`AC_DEFUN' to use `AU_DEFUN'.
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.
