given in the prologue of acobsolete.m4.
* acgeneral.m4 (Prologue): Enter the `autoconf' name space.
(AU_DEFUN): New macro.
* autoupdate.m4: New file.
Disable the name spaces `autoconf', and `libm4'. Disable libm4.
* Makefile.am: Tuned to support the changes above.
* autoupdate.sh: Model after autoconf.sh.
Can run on several files at once (for instance m4/*.m4).
Don't touch files that are up to date.
Run m4 on autoupdate.m4f instead of playing with sed.
Use AU_DEFUN.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_LINK_FILES, AC_ENABLE, AC_WITH): Use AU_DEFUN,
remove the call to AC_OBSOLETE.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_CYGWIN32): Likewise.
* acoldnames.m4: Replaced all the definitions via `define' or
`AC_DEFUN' to use `AU_DEFUN'.
Introduce a new style of testing, independent from DejaGNU.
Introduce the logistics.
* configure.in: Initialize AT, and output tests/atconfig, and
tests/Makefile.
* m4/atconfig.m4: New file.
* m4/Makefile.am: Adjusted.
* aclocal.m4: Include atconfig.m4.
* Makefile.am: Adjusted.
* tests/Makefile.am: New file.
* tests/atgeneral.m4: Likewise.
* tests/atconfig.in: Likewise.
Write tests.
* tests/syntax.m4: New file, in charge of checking the validity of
the sh code produced by the macros defined in acspecific.m4.
acgeneral.m4 is not checked here, because these macros require
arguments.
* tests/suite.m4: New file. Run syntax.m4.
Create man pages for the executables.
* Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add `man' and prepend `.' so that
executables be built before help2man is run.
* configure.in (AC_OUTPUT): Add man/Makefile.
AC_MSG_ERROR, not AC_ERROR.
Check for missing help2man.
* man/Makefile.am: New file.
* man/autoconf.x: Likewise.
* man/autoreconf.x: Likewise.
* man/autoheader.x: Likewise.
* man/autoscan.x: Likewise.
* man/autoupdate.x: Likewise.
* man/ifnames.x: Likewise.
* man/common.x: Likewise.
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.
* Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): New explicit variable.
(editsh): acdatadir is no longer defined, so use pkgdatadir.
(editpl): Likewise. From Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>.
* Makefile.in: Regenerate.
* configure: Regenerate.
* aclocal.m4: New generated file.
* Makefile.in: Regenerate with Automake.
* testsuite/Makefile.in: Likewise.

Use Automake. Based on files from Ben Elliston.
* acgeneral.m4: No longer define AC_ACVERSION, include
acversion.m4.
* acversion.m4.in: New AC_CONFIG_FILE.
* acspecific.m4: Few formating changes.
* autoconf.texi: No longer define EDITION, VERSION and UPDATED:
include version.texi.
AC_OUTPUT the Makefiles mentioned below and acversion.m4.
* configure.in: Use AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE.
Do not AC_ARG_PROGRAM: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE does it.
* Makefile.am: New file.
* mdate-sh: Likewise.
* missing: Likewise.
* testsuite/Makefile.am: Likewise.
