* aclang.m4 (AC_PROG_CC_C_O, AC_PROG_F77_C_O): Fix typos where
$objext were used instead of $ac_objext.
(AT_INIT): Let `at_stop_on_error' and `at_verbose' be `:'/`false'
variables instead of `'/`1'.
`at_check_stds' replaces `at_no_redirs'.
Rename `Snippet 3' as `Snippet 4'.
Introduce `Snippet 3' for variable initializations.
Adjust the dependencies.
(AT_CHECK): Don't show diff's result unless verbose.

(_AC_INIT_HELP): Likewise.
(NEWS): Note checking for configure.gnu.
* doc/autoconf.texi: Document checking for configure.gnu when
recursing subdirectories.

correct exit status.
* aclang.m4 (AC_PROG_CPP): Don't try '${CC-cc} -nologo -E'
by the same reason.
and checks whether it produces errors or warnings. Don't put grep
output into a variable, use another grep instead.
(AC_TRY_CPP): Use _AC_TRY_CPP. Copy conftest.err to config.log
if the case of an error.
* aclang.m4 (AC_LANG(C), AC_LANG(C++), AC_LANG(Fortran 77)):
define AC_LANG_ABBREV to the short language name.
(_AC_PROG_CPP_WORKS): New macro. It checks whether the current
preprocessor can be used to check for existance of headers.
Most code taken from ...
(AC_PROG_CPP): ... here. Use _AC_PROG_CPP_WORKS. Use shell
"for" to find working CPP. Use AC_LANG_PUSH(C) and AC_LANG_POP -
it's a macro for C only.
(AC_PROG_CXXCPP): Rewritten using _AC_PROG_CPP_WORKS.
which uses $ac_objext hence depends upon _AC_OBJEXT.
* aclang.m4 (AC_PROG_CC, AC_PROG_CXX, AC_PROG_F77): Call
_AC_EXEEXT before _AC_OBJEXT since the former needs $ac_objext.
AM_FUNC_MKTIME, AM_FUNC_OBSTACK, AM_FUNC_STRTOD): Deactivate
their AU_ALIAS definition: Automake 1.4 does not quote the name of
these macros, hence when Autoconf reads Automake's definition the
name is expanded with unpredictable results.
operator when \(\) is used, and matches a string longer than 120
characters.

* doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Usual Tools): Some words about
this.
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_SHELL_DIRNAME): Fall back to echo|sed if expr
fails.
From Paul Eggert.
* acspecific.m4 (_AC_HEADER_TIOCGWINSZ_IN_TERMIOS_H,
_AC_HEADER_TIOCGWINSZ_IN_SYS_IOCTL, AC_HEADER_TIOCGWINSZ,
AC_SYS_POSIX_TERMIOS): New macros from both Automake and the
fileutils.
AC_CANONICAL_* revamping.

In fact, let's just use the precious variables handling.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_VALIDATE_CACHED_SYSTEM_TUPLE): Obsoleted.
(_AC_ARG_VAR_PRECIOUS): New macro, eved from...
(AC_ARG_VAR): this macro. Adjust.
(_AC_INIT_PREPARE): `build_alias', `host_alias', and
`target_alias' are precious.
* doc/autoconf.texi: Adjust.
(_AC_DIVERT(PARSE_ARGS)): this. Adjust dependencies.
(AC_ARG_WITH): Remove spurious newline.
(AC_ARG_VAR): No longer save precious variables in
ac_configure_args, rather snapshot them twice (one kept
unmodified, another one to be written to/overwritten by the cache
file).
(AC_CACHE_SAVE): Let the cache variables named `ac_cv_env_*'
be overwritten when loading the cache (i.e., don't use the
: ${foo=...} trick).
(_AC_ARG_VAR_VALIDATE): Compare the two snapshots of the precious
variables.
(_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Call it after having loaded the cache file.
