Autoconf’s diagnostics now follow current GNU coding standards,
which say that diagnostics in the C locale should quote 'like this'
with plain apostrophes instead of the older GNU style `like this'
with grave accent and apostrophe.
This macro was replaced by AC_CONFIG_HEADERS many years ago (before
the beginning of the VCS history) and isn’t even documented, but we
never got around to making autoupdate notice it. Problem reported
*in 2006* by jensseidel@users.sf.net.
There was one use of AC_CONFIG_HEADER in our source tree, which is
converted. Also, to avoid confusing people reading old NEWS or TODO
entries, all mentions of AC_CONFIG_HEADER therein are also replaced
with AC_CONFIG_HEADERS.
* lib/autoconf/status.m4 (AC_CONFIG_HEADER): Make an AU_ALIAS for
AC_CONFIG_HEADERS.
Done via 'make update-copyright', since all files are effectively
modified and distributed this year via public version control.
* all files: Update copyright year.

* all files: Update copyright year.
* NEWS:
* doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler): Document the following.
* lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_PROG_CC): Check for the latest C version
supported, not just C89.
(_AC_C_STD_TRY): Keep track of the options we add to bring
the C compiler up to standard, so that we can undo it if the
user later requests some other C standard.
(_AC_PROG_CC_FORCE_VERSION): New macro.
(AC_PROG_CC_C89, AC_PROG_CC_C99): Use it. These macros now
have a documented side effect of changing the C version requested.
(AC_PROG_CC_C11): Remove. It wasn't useful.
(AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Now an obsolescent alias for AC_PROG_CC.
(AC_C_PROTOTYPES): Allow any standard C version, not just c89.
Don't chatter, since we don't actually run any checking code.
* lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_TYPE_LONG_LONG_INT)
(AC_TYPE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG_INT): Treat C11 like C99.
* TODO: Remove the TODO item corresponding to the above.
* ChangeLog: Relicense under GPL.
* ChangeLog.0: Likewise.
* ChangeLog.1: Likewise.
* ChangeLog.2: Likewise.
* THANKS: Likewise.
* m4/m4.m4: Use latest wording of FSF all-permissive license.
* m4/make-case.m4: Likewise.
* doc/install.texi: Likewise.
* tests/statesave.m4: Relicense to match rest of testsuite; this
file does not need all-permissive license since it is not designed
for reuse by other packages.
* BUGS: Relicense under all-permissive license.
* HACKING: Likewise.
* NEWS: Likewise.
* README: Likewise.
* README-alpha: Likewise.
* README-hacking: Likewise.
* TODO: Likewise.

lib/autoconf/specific.m4, lib/autoconf/status.m4,
lib/autoconf/types.m4, lib/autotest/general.m4,
tests/mktests.sh, tests/torture.at: White space cleanup:
remove some SPACE before TAB, or add quoting ('' or @&t@).
* TODO: Remove already done things. Update the part
about finding tools for the target.

* lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (AC_USG, AC_MEMORY_H,
AC_DIR_HEADER): Make wording more consistent.
* lib/autoconf/specific.m4 (AC_CYGWIN, AC_EMXOS2,
AC_MINGW32): Explain the transition better.
* lib/autoconf/types.m4 (AC_INT_16_BITS,
AC_LONG_64_BITS): Explain the transition better.

* doc/autoconf.texi (Obsoleting Macros): Don't
document the third parameter of AU_DEFUN.
* lib/autoconf/autoupdate.m4 (AU_DEFINE): Remove.
(AU_DEFUN): Remove the third parameter, it was not used.
Use AC_DEFUN directly, not AU_DEFINE.
* lib/autoconf/status.m4 (AC_LINK_FILES): Move the message
into the expanded body, consistently with other macros
such as AC_USG.
* lib/autoconf/autoconf.m4: Include it.
* lib/autoconf/functions.m4: Use AN_FUNCTION for all the functions
that were listed in the original autoscan.list.
* lib/autoconf/headers.m4: Similarly with headers.
* lib/freeze.mk (autoconf_m4f_dependencies): Add autoscan.m4.
(.m4.m4f): Don't pass --prepend-include, since that's done by
tests/autom4te itself.
* lib/autoscan/Makefile.am: Include freeze.mk.
(autoscan.list): New target --this file is no longer a source.
(autoscan.pre): New file.
(&file_name_is_absolute): New, wrappers around routines from
File::Spec.
Use and export them.
(&find_configure_ac): Optionally take a directory where to look at.
* bin/autoreconf.in (&parse_args): Trim the configure.ac part of
the arguments.
Default @ARGV to `.', not find_configure_ac.
(&autoreconf): Argument is a directory.
Trace AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS and schedule the subdirs for autoreconf'ing.
* doc/autoconf.texi (autoreconf Invocation): Update.
(&handle_m4): Use it.
* tests/m4sugar.at (m4_warn): Pass `-f' to autom4te to ensure the
warnings are issued at each run.
* tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_M4SUGAR, AT_CHECK_M4SH): M4sugar
is in the src tree.
