Reported by Franc,ois Pinard and Rainer Orth.
* autoreconf.sh: Removed spurious `;;'.
Formatting changes.
* tests/tools.m4 (Syntax of the scripts): Run `sh -n' on all the
shell scripts.
Also remove trailing blanks.
* tests/Makefile.am (testsuite): Use sed instead of cat.
* tests/torture.m4: No longer check for a trailing space.
* autoconf.sh: Likewise.
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.
* autoconf.sh: Give your name while reporting errors.
Don't spit --help for errors on arguments.
* autoreconf.sh: Likewise.
* autoheader.sh: Likewise.
More temporary files that one can browse when debugging.
Don't ${var}, just $var.
Don't dump --help when the arguments are invalid.
(config_h): Use the empty value instead of `undefined' to check
that it is defined.
* acspecific.m4: Formatting changes.
condition out the test case if __cpluscplus.
Don't document the autoheader template twice, one is enough.
* autoheader.m4 (AC_CONFIG_HEADER): don't hook on this guy, but
on...
(AC_CONFIG_HEADERS), since the former is defined on the latter.
Make autoconf support --install.
* autoconf.sh (task install): New task. Extract the set of
auxiliary m4 files a configure.in depends upon. Install links
from library files to the local dir so that the packages depends
only on local extensions. Check that the user includes exactly
the files she needs.
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.
No need for foo="`bar`", foo=`bar` is fine.
Simplify ${foo} and ${1} into $foo and $1.
* acgeneral.m4 (ac_LF_and_DOT): Remove the double quotes.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_CC_C_O, AC_PROG_F77_C_O): Likewise.
* autoconf.sh: Likewise.
* autoheader.sh: Likewise.
* autoreconf.sh: Likewise.
* autoupdate.sh: Likewise.
* ifnames.sh: Remove all the code and messages related to
AC_MACRODIR, since ifnames is not related to macros in anyway.
Be kind to Automake: list the arguments of selected macros
(for instance AC_SUBST will list each variable which may be
substitued).
* autoconf.sh (--trace, --output): New options.
Implement tracing of macros.
trap also on 0, so that there is no need to rm here and there.
* autoconf.texi (Output): Document --trace and --output.
Fix the --version of all the executables.
* Makefile.am (editsh, editpl): Substitute also PACKAGE and
VERSION.
* autoconf.sh (version): New string.
(--version): Use it.
(--help) Output on stdout, not stderr.
* autoheader.sh: Likewise.
* autoreconf.sh: Likewise.
* autoscan.pl: Likewise.
* autoupdate.sh: Likewise.
* ifnames.sh: Likewise.
Perform a better checking for missing templates in autoheader.
* autoheader.m4 (AH_HOOK): When hook AC_FOO on AH_FOO, define the
new AC_FOO to be the expansion of both AH_FOO *and* AC_FOO. See
its definition for the motivations.
* autoheader.m4 (AH_FUNC_ALLOCA): Remove the now useless
additional templates.
* autoconf.sh (Checking for Bugs): Remove the indirection that
made the `sort -u' useless.

* autoconf.sh (Last sed cmd): Change also @PND@ to `#', since this
is also a symbol very hard to quote in m4.
1999-09-13 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
* autoconf.sh: Substitute also /@BKL@/[/ /@BKR@/]/ /@DLR@/$/ so
that these characters are more easily accessible from m4 without
turning changequote juggling into a nightmare.
* autoreconf.sh: Do not run autoheader if AC_CONFIG_HEADER is
commented out in configure.in. Reported by Erez Zadok
<ezk@cs.columbia.edu> as a fix for autoconf/21.
Fix for autoconf/28.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_MAKE_DEFS): Don't assume LF is \012, use
`echo` followed by a non-blank, within quotes.
* autoheader.sh (syms): Likewise.
* configure: Rebuilt.
* autoreconf.sh (verbose): use either `:' or `echo'.
(aclocal_m4): Renamed from aclocal.
(aclocal_flags): New var.
Run aclocal using $aclocal_flags.
Redirect ls' stderr to /dev/null to avoid spurious messages.
* autoreconf.sh: Support several automake command line options,
and run aclocal and automake when needed. Also, create stamp files
just like automake's Makefiles would do for config headers.
Additional contributions from Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>.
* autoconf.texi (Defining Symbols): Documented third argument to
AC_DEFINE.
* autoheader.m4 (AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED): Generate `verbatim'
assignment if third argument given.
(AC_DEFINE): Likewise.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_DEFINE): Handle case where $# is 3.
(AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED): Likewise.
* autoheader.sh: Echo $verbatim if not empty.
* autoreconf.sh: Change initial /bin/sh to @SHELL@.

* autoreconf.sh: Do the right thing when AC_CONFIG_HEADER is
given more than one filename. As noted in the "Invoking
autoheader" node of the info files, autoheader will use the first
file argument given to AC_CONFIG_HEADER. Prior to this patch,
autoreconf would end up executing incorrect shell code (e.g.
"test ! -f 1.h 2.h.in") in such cases.
Patch submitted in parallel to bug-gnu-utils@prep.ai.mit.edu.
