Map --localdir, --autoconf-dir onto it.
Forward autom4te's options instead of interpreting them.
* bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoheader.in (AC_MACRODIR, autoconf_dir):
There is no such envvar since the inception of autom4te.cfg.
* bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Uniquify `@include'.
* bin/autoupdate.in: Adjust, and perform more control.
* tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_AUTOCONF): Adjust.
* tests/autoconf: Dittowise.
* bin/autom4te.in (&find_file): Support `FILE?' standing for
optionally `FILE'.
Use -e, not -f, since /dev/null for instance is OK.
(&parse_args): Adjust.
* lib/autom4te.in (Autoconf): Add `acsite.m4?' and `aclocal.m4?'.
* bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoheader.in, bin/autoreconf.in,
* bin/autoscan.in, autoupdate.in: Use exclusively the name of the
installed peer executables, only PATH is allowed to resolve it.
Pass `autoconf_dir' via options, not via invisible envvars.
* lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_peer): Remove.
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): `AUTOTEST_PATH=a:b' gives
`abuild:asrc:bbuild:bsrc', not `abuild:bbuild:asrc:bsrc'.
* man/Makefile.am: Let help2man rely on PATH instead of trying to
find the executables for it.
* tests/Makefile.am: Major cleanup. Too lazy to document...
* tests/atlocal.in: Remove all the obscure envvar manipulations.
We only need PERL.
* tests/atspecific.m4, tests/tools.at: Passing --localdir is
indeed related to running the test suite, while passing
--autoconf-dir and others is related to running non installed
Autoconf executables. So don't do that, leave it to...
* tests/autoconf, tests/autoheader, tests/autom4te, tests/autoupdate,
* tests/autoscan: New.
* tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_M4SUGAR, AT_CHECK_M4SH): Don't
refer to library files: rely on --language.

(&parse_args): Support --mode, --set, and --melt.
* bin/autoconf.in: Simplify and adjust.
* tests/Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE): Use --set.

* Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Add 1.5 and dist-bzip2.
(AMTAR): Help automake define it.
(INSTALL, install-data-hook): The INSTALL.txt trick is no longer
needed, 1.5 can have a macro and a target with the same name.

Adjust callers.
* bin/autoupdate.in: Distinguish M4sugar vs. Autoconf macros by
the name of the directory they're in, instead of the filename,
since version.m4 is now in m4sugar, but m4_acversion must not be
classified as an Autoconf macro.
($input_m4): Don't qualify the path to m4sugar.
Rather, pass autoconf_dir to m4.
* tests/Makefile.am (testsuite): Remove -I top_srcdir, unneeded.
* tests/suite.at: Require 2.52c.
(&handle_m4): Use it.

warnings are issued at each run.

might process the output _without_ running m4, hence without these
files.

* bin/autom4te.in (@Request::includes): Remove, unused.
(@Request::source): Rename as...

autoconf', i.e., in addition to caching traces, cache the output.
* bin/autom4te.in (Request::cache): Rename as...
(Request::id): this.

(&handle_output): CPP directives might have spaces after `#'.
(&parse_args): The first file only can be frozen.
first check that the trace cache file is up to date, and then
compare its timestamp with that of the output.
* bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoscan.in: Normalize
the preamble. Don't require 5.005 as Autom4te::General does it,
and better yet (use `use', not `require'!).
* lib/Autom4te/Struct.pm: Rename the last occurrences of
Class::Struct as Autom4te::Struct.
* lib/Autom4te/General.pm (File::stat): Use it.
(&mtime): New, export it.

(m4_divert_pop): Dump the whole diversion stack when a diversion
mismatch happens.
* bin/autom4te.in (&handle_output): Remember of the first
occurrence of a possibly undefined macro, not the last.
Complain about the possibly undefined macros in the same order as
the appear in the output.
* lib/autoconf/Makefile.am (autoconf.m4f): List its dependencies.
* tests/tools.at (autoconf: forbidden tokens, basic)
(autoconf: forbidden tokens, exceptions): No longer sort
autoconf's stderr, as it is now deterministic.
Check that `dnl' is caught.
`die'.
(&END): New.
* bin/autoconf.in, bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoupdate.in: Remove your
`END', as `Autom4te::General::END' will be triggered.
* bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoscan.in: Improve error messages accuracy.
* bin/autoupdate.in (File::Compare, File::Copy): Use them instead of
system to run `mv', `rm', and `cmp'.

(AWK portability): Remove, for autoconf no longer uses AWK.
(Syntax of the Perl scripts): New.

(Because I found no way for autom4te to accept `-').
* autom4te.in (&Request::request): Beware of M4 builtins.
(END): Don't try to remove the content of an empty dir.
(&parse_args): Default is `$f:$l:$n:$%', not `$f:$l:$n:$*'.
(&handle_output): Set a default value to `$forbidden'.
* autoupdate.in (&verbose, &xsystem): New, from autom4te.in.
($autoconf): Pass --debug and --verbose.
