* man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Now that scripts in bin/ and tests/
are guaranteed to be built, remove the rules that tried to build
them. Before, with a parallel build, these rules could lead to
two processes writing tests/wrapper.in concurrently.
* tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories, Deep Package):
In the --help* tests in read-only trees, make `.' temporarily
writable again for the `stderr' file, and ignore errors due to
the attempt to write configure.lineno.
Report by Patrick Welche.
* tests/Makefile.am (package.m4): Adjust target.
Don't redirect directly to $@.
(CLEANFILES): Add package.m4.
($(TESTSUITE)): Depend on just-built package.m4, not the one
in $(srcdir).
When running $(AUTOTEST), search "." before searching $(srcdir).
* tests/Makefile.am (distclean-generic): Replace the default,
automake-provided rule with an identical one, but with an additional
dependency on distclean-local. Simply adding the dependency would
cause automake not to emit the rule at all.
* BUGS: Building with -jN works, now.
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT) <at_func_arith>: New
function, to parametrize arithmetic with expr vs. the shell.
Use it where possible.
Suggestion by Benoit Sigoure.

* doc/autoconf.texi (Making testsuite Scripts): It is not necessary,
when using Automake, to write a rule to produce atlocal, since it's
an AC_CONFIG_FILES. Mention that atlocal.in needs to be
distributed, not atconfig.in.

* doc/autoconf.texi (Limitations of Builtins): Mention that GNU
Bash doesn't properly set $? when `{ ... } >/bad' fails, and give
workaround.

component separator.

extracted from AC_TYPE_LONG_LONG_INT and AC_TYPE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG_INT.
(AC_TYPE_LONG_LONG_INT, AC_TYPE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG_INT): Use it.
Fixes problem with Sun C 5.[0-8] in 32-bit mode, reported in
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2007-10/msg00210.html>
Suggested by Paul Eggert.
* GNUmakefile (dummy): Use autoreconf -i, with appropriate PATH,
so that we use just-built tools when they're available.
Suggestions from Ralf Wildenhues.
Now, each unofficial build has a version "number" like 2.61a-19-58dd,
which indicates that it is built using the 19th change set
(in _some_ repository) following the "v2.61a" tag, and that 58dd
is a prefix of the commit SHA1.
* build-aux/git-version-gen: New file.
* configure.ac: Run it to set the version.
(AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Don't check NEWS here.
* Makefile.am (dist-hook): Arrange so that .version appears only
in distribution tarballs, never in a checked-out repository.
* .gitignore: Add .version here, too. Just in case.
* tests/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/package.m4): Depend on Makefile,
not configure.ac, now that the version number changes automatically.
Ensure that $(VERSION) is up to date for dist-related targets.
* GNUmakefile: Arrange to rerun autoconf, if the version reported by
git-version-gen doesn't match $(VERSION), but only for dist targets.
* aclocal.m4: Remove.
* configure: Remove.
* Makefile.in: Remove, along with all other Makefile.in in subdirs.
* .gitignore: Add aclocal.m4, configure and Makefile.in. Sort.
* README-hacking: New file: how to build from just-checked-out sources.
* tests/torture.at (Deep Package): Do not add `.' to $PATH
unnecessarily. Do not try running `/bin/sh configure' with a
configure script to be found in $PATH, if the shell does not do
this resolution. Fixes test failure on FreeBSD.
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (Defaults): Validate input ranges ...
<at_func_validate_ranges>: ... using this new function.
* tests/autotest.at (Keywords and ranges): Test invalid ranges.
Test --list with ranges and keywords.
(Banners): Remove one now-failing test.
