Remove.
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.

* lib/autoconf/headers.m4: Similarly with headers.
* lib/freeze.mk (autoconf_m4f_dependencies): Add autoscan.m4.

builddir, buildpath, top_builddir, and top_buildpath.
(_AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): Compute the dir variables *before* changing
the current directory.

variables *before* changing the current directory.
Skip nonexistent dirs.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Preset Output Variables): Document these
variables.
* lib/autotest/general.m4: Do not reset AT_victims.
Don't compute at_srcdir nor at_top_srcdir.
* tests/tools.at: Hence use top_srcdir.
* tests/Makefile.am, tests/autoconf, tests/autoheader,

independent, use them and drop dark envvar magic.

(AMTAR): Help automake define it.
(INSTALL, install-data-hook): The INSTALL.txt trick is no longer
needed, 1.5 can have a macro and a target with the same name.
