New node, documenting AS_DIRNAME.

Also, update discussion of POSIX standard to reflect latest draft.
(AC_LANG_INT_SAVE(C)): Also support negative values, down to LONG_MIN.
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_COMPUTE_INT_COMPILE):
Do not pass a first argument with leading '-'
to expr, by parenthesizing initial integers that might be negative.
now merely checks whether it is an error to pass an argument
to getpgrp.
* lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (_AC_FUNC_GETPGRP_TEST): Remove.
(AC_FUNC_GETPGRP): Don't bother with a runtime test. Just check
whether it is a (compile-time) error to pass an argument to
getpgrp. This simpler test supports the revised documentation,
and is all that AC_FUNC_GETPGRP's users really need.

correctly.
Add test for AS_BASENAME.
* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4: Fix AS_BASENAME so that it passes the previous
added test. It now correctly handles /1/2/3/, returning '3' not ''.
Added AS_BASENAME_SED to make the interface the same as AS_DIRNAME.
* tests/base.at: Fixed the expected responses. The old ones were
one line out...
* lib/autoconf/general.m4: Fixed AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM, it now behaves as
the documentation claims it should (and how it behaved in 2.13).
the AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS invocation.
This also solves the name clash problems.
Don't set the package's ID.

No longer to be shipped.

the only optional argument is the name of the test suite.
Expect `package.m4' to define the package signature.
* lib/autom4te.in (Autotest): Add `package.m4?'.
* tests/Makefile.am (package.m4): New.
* tests/suite.at: ifnames is a victim.
AC_LIBSOURCE, AC_CONFIG_FILES.
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Don't abort when a tested
program version string doesn't match the package's.
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_CACHE_VAL): Reestablish the space
after `(cached)'.
fit into unsigned long (not int, as before). Check for output errors.
From Bruno Haible:
(AC_LANG_INT_SAVE(C)): Always include <stdio.h> and
<stdlib.h>. Evaluate the expression in an extra function before these
includes. Call fprintf "%d" only after ensuring the argument is of
type 'int'. Reported by Wayne Chapeskie <waynec@spinnaker.com>.
Allow expression to return any value that can fit into unsigned long
(not int, as before). Check for output errors.

or CFLAGS=-O5. In that case, the linker has a relaxed view of
fatal errors, and AC_CHECK_LIB causes it to include libraries even
when they don't exist.
* lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_HEADER_DIRENT): Use AC_SEARCH_LIBS,
not AC_CHECK_LIB, so that we don't use -ldir or -lx if we don't
need it.
* lib/autoconf/specific.m4 (AC_ISC_POSIX): Replace the old, crufty
version with the version used by fileutils 4.1, except use
AC_SEARCH_LIBS, not AC_CHECK_LIB, so that we don't use -lcposix if
we don't need it.

Likewise.

(AC_CHECK_PROG & AC_CHECK_PROGS): Use PATH_SEPARATOR.
doesn't neutralize SIGINT, making autoconf etc. non interruptible.

the maintainer is dumb enough to do that...
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_SETUP, AT_LINE): Demonstrates your
excellence in M4 quotation: consider `__file__' is active.
And BTW, when invoking m4, pass the --include in the right order:
the wrong one.
* bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoupdate.in: Use reverse when kingtal to
4m.
* bin/autoupdate.in (&handle_m4_macros, &handle_autoconf_macros):
New, extracted from main.
Use IO::File wherever possible.
(input.m4): Be constant, use -I instead of hard coding $tmp.
Therefore be a quoted heredoc.
Don't invoke `_au_disable', since ac was not loaded, but just
`unm4.m4'.
