code for --enable, --disable, --with, and --without to...
(_AC_INIT_PARSE_ENABLE): ... a new macro.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Package Options):
* NEWS: Document that AC_ARG_ENABLE allows dots, too.
2006-11-13 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): For --with, --without
options, transliterate also dots to underscores.
(_AC_ENABLE_IF): Transliterate also dots to underscores.
* doc/autoconf.texi (External Software): Document that AC_ARG_WITH's
first argument may also contain dots.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Caching Results): Likewise.
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_CACHE_CHECK_INT): Renamed from
AC_CACHE_CHECK_INT, since it's no longer public.
* lib/autoconf/types.m4: All uses of AC_CACHE_CHECK_INT changed.
* tests/base.at (AC_COMPUTE_INT): Test this, not AC_CACHE_CHECK_INT.
* build-aux/install-sh (posix_mkdir): Reject FreeBSD 6.1 mkdir -p -m,
which incorrectly sets the mode of an existing destination
directory. In some cases the unpatched install-sh could do the
equivalent of "chmod 777 /" or "chmod 0 /" on a buggy FreeBSD
system. We hope this is rare in practice, but it's clearly worth
fixing. Problem reported by Alex Unleashed in
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2006-10/msg00012.html>.
Also, don't bother to check for -m bugs unless we're using -m;

Import this change from Automake:

is enabled by default with gnu and gnits strictness.
Report from Bruno Haible.
2006-03-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>

gnu and gnits modes.

2006-09-16 Karl Berry <karl@gnu.org>
* doc/fdl.texi (ADDENDUM): switch to @heading from @appendixsubsec,
to avoid sectioning errors.
Import these changes from Texinfo:
2006-10-04 Karl Berry <karl@gnu.org>
* build-aux/texinfo.tex (\singlequotechar): rename to \codequoteright.
(\quoteexpand): rename to \rquoteexpand.
(\codequoteleft): new def, to look for @set codequotebacktick.
(\lquoteexpand, \quoteexpand): new defs.
(\lquoteChar, \rquoteChar, \dashChar, \underChar: new \chardef's.
(\code): must use new \...Char values, since now ` is active.
2006-08-26 Karl Berry <karl@gnu.org>
* build-aux/texinfo.tex (\textdegree): New command.
2006-08-12 Karl Berry <karl@gnu.org>
* build-aux/texinfo.tex (error \box0): smaller font.

2006-10-11 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_BOURNE_COMPATIBLE): Move the
initialization which is not inherited through the environment
(_AS_BOURNE_COMPATIBLE): ... to this new macro.
(_AS_RUN): Call _AS_BOURNE_COMPATIBLE, not AS_BOURNE_COMPATIBLE.
shel scripts no longer export BIN_SH, due to configuration
hassles with this.
* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_BOURNE_COMPATIBLE): Don't set BIN_SH
or DUALCASE.
(_AS_DETECT_BETTER_SHELL): Don't look in /usr/bin/posix.
Use AS_EXECUTABLE_P rather than test -f.
(AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Set DUALCASE.
(AS_EXECUTABLE_P): Just invoke as_executable_p.
(_AS_TEST_PREPARE): Default to test -f, rather than to nothing.
argument to `--prefix' for sub-configure scripts.
Pass `--silent' to sub-configure scripts.
* tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Add tests
for both changes.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Setting Output Variables): Fix example to
not show `--silent' being passed to a `configure' re-run.
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR): Do not check
for the existence of the directory at configure-time. That's
too late, anyway, and possibly the directory isn't part of the
distribution. Problem reported by Stefan Seefeld.
f90/f95 because the latter drivers of AIX Fortran 9.1 do not
accept files with extension `.f'. For consistency, also prefer
xlf over f77.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Fortran Compiler): Remove mention of bug
from last patch.
old AC_COMPUTE_INT, which now behaves like _AC_COMPUTE_INT
except the first two arguments are reversed.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Caching Results): New macro AC_CACHE_CHECK_INT.
(Generic Compiler Characteristics): AC_COMPUTE_INT no longer
caches nor outputs a diagnostic. Suggested by Bruno Haible.
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_CACHE_CHECK_INT): New macro,
equivalent to the old AC_COMPUTE_INT.
(AC_COMPUTE_INT): No longer caches or reports. New signature.
All uses changed to AC_CACHE_CHECK_INT.
* tests/base.at (AC_CACHE_CHECK_INT): New test.
* tests/mktests.sh (ac_exclude_lsit): Add AC_CACHE_CHECK_INT.
and AC_REPLACE_FNMATCH are now obsolescent in Autoconf. New
programs should use their Gnulib counterparts.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions): Likewise.
(Macro Names, testsuite Invocation): Replace uses of these
obsolete macros with uses of non-obsolete macros.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Programs): YYTEXT_POINTER is
for the default, which the user can override.
* lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_LEX): Let _AC_PROG_LEX_YYTEXT_DECL
deal with LEXLIB.
(_AC_PROG_LEX_YYTEXT_DECL): Handle caching correctly; the old code
didn't work if some values were cached but not others. Test for
broken lex libraries like native ia64-hp-hpux11.22; see
<http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2003-12/msg00337.html>, and
work around the problem by preferring an empty LEXLIB to -lfl or
-ll. Let the user set LEXLIB='' to indicate no library needed.

-Wundef -Werror". Problem reported by David Fang in
