Remove.
We _have_ to stop using the old compatibility scheme that tried to
avoid useless backslashes because Libtool 1.4.3 contains a
AC_DEFINE([error_t], [int],
[Define to a type to use for `error_t' if it is not
otherwise available.])
We _have_ to quote the single quote and backslashes with . The
old compatibility scheme saw that ` was backslashed, and therefore
did not quote the single quote. Hence before this patch, Autoconf
was not compatible with Libtool.

Die when a simple Fortran program cannot be compiled.

* bin/autoreconf.in (&parse_args): Remove dead options.
Factor some code.
(&autoreconf): Report the directories we enter *and leave*, so
that error messages can be easily located, and use GNU Make
format, so that Emacs' compile mode understands us.
* lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&update_file): Use `verbose' to report
if some file was changed instead of `print'.
* bin/autoheader.in: Suggest AC_DEFINE with 3 args when needed.
