These are lightweight versions of AT_CHECK that automatically
add the equivalent of ! in front of the command and change a
failure exit status to 77 resp. 99. They expand to just
two lines of shell code at the expense of not supporting
tracing (but then so does AT_XFAIL_IF).

Warn about obsolete install-sh files. Remove stray sentence
fragment and fix cross reference.
* lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_INSTALL): Don't insist on
install -d; this undoes the 2006-05-10 change.
(MKDIR_P): Mark with AN_MAKEVAR.
(AC_PROG_MKDIR_P): Fall back on $ac_install_sh, not $INSTALL, so
that we don't require $INSTALL to be thread-safe. Move comments
out of generated code. Require AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR_DEFAULT instead
of AC_PROG_INSTALL. Output a message saying that we're checking
mkdir -p. Set MKDIR_P rather than mkdir_p. Do special magic for

Don't mishandle weird characters like space on pre-POSIX hosts.
Invoke mkdir at most once per dir arg on pre-POSIX hosts.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Programming in M4sh): Cross-reference to
AC_PROG_MKDIR_P from AS_MKDIR_P.
(Limitations of Usual Tools): Cross-reference to AC_PROG_MKDIR_P
from mkdir. Mention that Autoconf 2.60 install-sh is safe but
earlier editions are not (including Automake 1.8.3).
Do not suggest mkinstalldirs for thread-safety.
* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_MKDIR_P): Make it more robust in the
presence of special characters and race conditions.
* tests/local.at (AT_CHECK_ENV): Add mkdir_p to the list of variables
in Autoconf's name space.
* lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_MKDIR_P): New macro, taken
from Automake with minor changes.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Programs): Document AC_PROG_MKDIR_P.
some shells (e.g., Solaris 8 /bin/sh) implement it verrrry slowly.
Instead, just list the shells that we know work.
* tests/local.at (AT_CHECK_SHELL_SYNTAX): Remove 2nd arg. All uses
changed. Be more cautious about the _cv_ variable.
* tests/tools.at (Syntax of the shell scripts): Check the
_cv_ variable once, at first, to avoid an internal autoconf error
when sh -n does not work.
Factor out the warning to...
(_AC_TOOL_WARN): ... this new macro; use `cross_compiling'.
* tests/local.at (AT_CHECK_MACRO_CROSS): Avoid this warning.
* tests/semantics.at (AC_C_BIGENDIAN): Likewise.
