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.
ac_cv_type_long_long_int to 'yes' instead of 'cross-compiling'.
Imported from a similar patch to gnulib by Bruno Haible.

* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): M4-quote and AS_ESCAPE AT_help_all
properly.
(AT_SETUP): M4-quote and AS_ESCAPE the title properly everywhere.
* tests/autotest.at (AT_CHECK_AT_TITLE): Add EXPANDED-TITLE-TO-TEST
argument. Extend to check titles printed by ./micro-suite and
./micro-suite -l and the title in micro-suite.log.
(Backquote in a test title,
Single-quote in a test title,
Double-quote in a test title): Don't expect failure anymore.
(Backslash in a test title): Put a non-whitespace character after the
backslash so that Bourne shells might actually see it as an escape
sequence.
(Brackets in a test title,
Pound in a test title,
Comma in a test title,
Quoted Macro in a test title,
Macro in a test title,
Macro with single-quote in a test title): New tests.
(Macro with backquote in a test title,
Macro with double-quote in a test title,
Macro with backslash in a test title): New tests expected to fail.
* tests/torture.at (#define header templates): M4-quote this title in
AT_SETUP call so that no M4 code is commented inadvertently somewhere.
The visible effect was a stray [] in the testsuite output.
since powerpc-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build
5363) simply issues a warning when dividing by zero at compile
time. Problem reported by Elias Pipping.
If FUNCTION-BODY is nonempty, use AC_LINK_IFELSE rather than
AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, to work around problem with OSF/1 4.0F fseeko
reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe for Coreutils 6.4.
* 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.
looking for special shell characters.
* lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_CHECK_FUNC): Do not expand the
macro defined by AS_VAR_PUSHDEF before passing it as a
parameter.
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_CHECK_FILE, AC_CHECK_DECL):
* lib/autoconf/libs.m4 (AC_SEARCH_LIBS, AC_CHECK_LIB):
* lib/autoconf/types.m4 (_AC_CHECK_TYPE_NEW, AC_CHECK_MEMBER):
* lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (_AC_CHECK_HEADER_MONGREL):
(_AC_CHECK_HEADER_NEW, _AC_CHECK_HEADER_OLD, _AC_CHECK_HEADER_DIRENT):
Likewise.
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Quote parameters of
AS_VAR_* properly.
* tests/m4sh.at (AS_LITERAL_IF): New test.
* 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:
2006-08-23 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
* lib/Autom4te/ChannelDefs.pm (usage): Mention that -Wportability
is enabled by default with gnu and gnits strictness.
Report from Bruno Haible.
2006-03-10 Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org>
* lib/Autom4te/ChannelDefs.pm: Make -Wportability the default in
gnu and gnits modes.
Import this change from Config:
2006-09-20 Ben Elliston <bje@gnu.org>
* build-aux/config.sub (score, score-*): New.
Import this change from Gnulib:
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.
(AS_EXECUTABLE_P): Use as_test_x rather than as_executable_p.
(_AS_TEST_PREPARE): Set as_test_x rather than as_executable_p.
Use a better substitute, by inspecting the output of "ls"
rather than just using ":".
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_LINK_IFELSE): Use AS_TEST_X
rather than AS_EXECUTABLE_P, since we needn't worry about
non-regular files here.
due to configuration hassles with this. See Tonya Underwood's report
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2006-10/msg00003.html>.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Likewise.

* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_BOURNE_COMPATIBLE): Don't set BIN_SH.
(_AS_DETECT_BETTER_SHELL): Don't look in /usr/bin/posix.
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.
comment about ac_cpp_err; it was incorrect, and anyway
ac_cpp_err is being removed below.
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_PREPROC_IFELSE): Don't
set ac_cpp_err to 'yesyes' if preproc_warn_flag and werror_flag
are both 'yes'. In fact, don't bother setting ac_cpp_err at all;
nobody uses it.
(_AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, _AC_LINK_IFELSE): Don't log our funky tests
with werror_flag and conftest.err and so forth. This is more
compatible with how _AC_PROG_PREPROC_WORKS_IFELSE behaves,
and anyway the user shouldn't normally want to see this gorp logged.
Problem reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
* lib/autoconf/lang.m4 (AC_LANG_WERROR): werror_flag's default is
empty, not 'no', since the rest of the code uses 'test -z'.
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.
