(AT_BANNER): New.
Adjust all the former banners to use it.
(AT_CHECK): Don't trace the decoding of $?.

by...

* tests/atgeneral.m4 (AC_INIT) <at_debug>: New variable, new
option, -d, to disable the creation of the debug scripts (when
testsuite was already launched from one).
<at_test_count>: Really compute it instead of using the number of
the last test run.
As a known side effect, currently any code outside
AT_SETUP/AT_CLEANUP is discarded.

* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_RUN_IFELSE): Instead of canceling the output
of the test program, save it into the log.
Save the exit status, and report it in the log when non zero.
Just use `(./conftest)' instead of `(./conftest; exit)'.
(_AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_TEST_INCLUDES): this.
(AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_MACRO_VALUE): Use AC_LANG_PROGRAM instead of
_AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_SOURCE, i.e., don't pass
_AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_TEST_INCLUDES by default: this isn't desirable
when checking for fseeko.
(AC_SYS_LARGEFILE): Pass AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_TEST_INCLUDES to
_AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_MACRO_VALUE, since it no longer does this for us.

Rename as...
(m4_require): this.
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_REQUIRE): Remove, use m4_require if you want
to get into the gory details.
The main difference is that the former requires AC_LANG_COMPILER.
* aclang (AC_LANG_PREPROC, AC_LANG_PREPROC(C), AC_LANG_PREPROC(C++))
(AC_LANG_PREPROC(Fortran 77), AC_LANG_PREPROC_REQUIRE): New
macros. Issue a warning when looking for the Fortran 77
preprocessor instead of an error.
(AC_LANG_COMPILER): Check that it is run before the corresponding
AC_LANG_PREPROC.
(AC_PROG_C
(AC_LANG_COMPILER_REQUIRE): Don't call directly
AC_LANG_COMPILER(_AC_LANG), rather invoke AC_LANG_COMPILER so that
the generic code in AC_LANG_COMPILER is run.
(AC_REQUIRE_CPP): Use AC_LANG_PREPROC_REQUIRE.
(AC_PROG_CC, AC_PROG_CXX): Don't require being run before the
corresponding AC_LANG_PREPROC: AC_LANG_COMPILER does it.
Propagate AC_LANG_PREPROC_REQUIRE.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_TRY_CPP, AC_EGREP_CPP): Use it instead of
AC_REQUIRE_CPP.

(AC_C_STRINGIZE): Yeeks! The body of AC_CACHE_CHECK was not
quoted. Use @%:@ do assist Emacs.
For some reason (don't ask), this revamping revealed that
AC_PROG_CC_STDC, because of the `break', does not clean its tmp

Be sure to clean the tmp files.

it. No longer insert the configure banner.
(_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS): Create config.log with the banner.
Define `as_me'.

dumping confdefs.h into config.log.
(_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Use _AC_INIT_DEFAULTS_FDS.
Print a banner.
Use AC_MSG_ERROR and AC_MSG_NOTICE.

AC_PROG_CC is expanded twice, because AC_PROG_CC provides
`AC_PROG_CC', and not `AC_LANG_COMPILER(C)' as expected by
AC_LANG_COMPILER_REQUIRE.
* aclang.m4 (AC_LANG_COMPILER(C)): Instead of calling AC_PROG_CC,
require it.

(_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Don't.
(_AC_INIT_PREPARE_ENVIRONMENT, _AC_INIT_PREPARE_FDS): Rename as...
(_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS_ENVIRONMENT, _AC_INIT_DEFAULTS_FDS): these,
since they are called from `_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS', not
`_AC_INIT_PREPARE'.
(_AC_INIT_DEFAULTS_FDS): Dump `$@' in config.log, not
`$ac_configure_args' which is not computed yet.
_AC_INIT_PREPARE_ENVIRONMENT, and fixed: set `FOO' before trying
to unset it: `unset' exits 1 if the variable is not defined.
(AS_UNSET): Require it. Use `as_unset' not `ac_unset'.
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE_ENVIRONMENT): Use it.
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_DIVERT, AC_DIVERT, AC_DIVERT_PUSH)
(AC_DIVERT_POP): Move to...

(AC_DIVERT_PUSH, AC_DIVERT_POP): New wrappers around the M4sugar
macros.

Also trap on 0.
When trapped, report why in config.log.
(AC_MSG_WARN, AC_MSG_ERROR): Also output the message in
config.log.
(AC_SHELL_DIRNAME): this.
