* lib/Makefile.am (edit, autom4te.cfg): New.

Be sure to report all the forbidden tokens within a single line.
(&trace_format_to_m4): Preserve `$_'.

(_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_WORKS): this. Use the `a.out' or `a.exe'
left by _AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_DEFAULT to check if the compiler works.
(_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT_CROSS): Extract from the above macro.
(_AC_COMPILER_EXEEXT): Use them.
Adjust all the compiler looking macros to check for EXEEXT
*first*, then OBJEXT.

AC_LIBSOURCES.
Be sure to read this file if you're using a non released Autoconf.
* tests/tools.at (Syntax of the scripts): The non built tools are
in `$top_srcdir', not `..'.
(autoconf --trace): When using `-i' we need the src tree, not the
build tree.
