about `$<' in inference rules, it was a bogus interpretation of
an old Automake change. Discuss NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and
Tru64 make in the "target lookup" section.
(Automake): Automake 1.5+ no longer requires special tools to be
present on the developer's host.

Override SHELL with the shell detected by configure.

When constructing paths with IFS=:, quote the path. If we're
constructing a DOS-style absolute path, we don't want to split it
on the colon.

compiler says yeah, but preproc says nope, compiler is right.
Conversely, prompt the reader to send a bug report to the
maintainers of the package, not of Autoconf.
(po-check): Scan .l and .y files instead of the
.c and the .h files that they generate. This fixes the bug
reported by Tim Van Holder in:

We _have_ to stop using the old compatibility scheme that tried to
avoid useless backslashes because Libtool 1.4.3 contains a
AC_DEFINE([error_t], [int],
[Define to a type to use for `error_t' if it is not
otherwise available.])
We _have_ to quote the single quote and backslashes with . The
old compatibility scheme saw that ` was backslashed, and therefore
did not quote the single quote. Hence before this patch, Autoconf
was not compatible with Libtool.
