AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG introduced a bug which already happened (see
Mon Nov 11 18:02:58 1996 David J MacKenzie).
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_LIB): Use a less tempting name:
s/ac_save_LIBS/ac_check_lib_save_LIBS/.
`--cache-file=config.cache'.
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Let `configure' support
`--config-cache' and `-C'.
Report them in `--help'.
Fix the display of missing argument.
(_AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): Adjust.
* doc/install.texi (Invoking configure): Rename the node as
(Running configure scripts): this, the name of the chapter.
(Operation Controls): Rename as...
(Invoking configure): this.
Document the new options.
* doc/autoconf.texi (direntry): Huh? What is this `aclocal' doing
here? Point to `Invoking configure'.
(Cache Files): No need to document the disabling of the cache.
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES): Fix the computation of
`ac_file_inputs' for `$ac_given_srcdir' containing a colon.
(AC_CHECK_MEMBERS, AC_PATH_PROG): s/ac_save_ifs/ac_save_IFS/.
Meyering's `chown.m4' serial 4.
(AC_FUNC_GETGROUPS): New macro, based on Jim Meyering's
`getgroups.m4' serial 3.
(AC_FUNC_MEMCMP): Updated, based on Jim Meyering's `memcmp.m4'
serial 3.
(AC_FUNC_MALLOC): New macro, based on Jim Meyering's
`malloc.m4' serial 3.
(AC_FUNC_MMAP): Include `stdlib.h' when `STDC_HEADERS'.
* acfunctions: Sort.
Add `chown' and `malloc', point `getgroups' to `AC_FUNC_GETGROUPS'
instead of `AC_TYPE_GETGROUPS'.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions): Adjust.
`config.status'. Fix and test.
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Use
`$ac_configure_args' directly, no via a tmp variable.
* tests/torture.m4 (command line interface): Test with more than
one argument.
(AC_INIT): Dispatch your arguments either to _AC_INIT_PACKAGE or
to AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR.
(AU::AC_INIT): New.
* configure.in: Adjust.
Use `#', not `dnl'.
* doc/autoconf.texi (configure.in Layout): Document the new form
of AC_INIT.
Document AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR.
(Obsolete Macros): Document the old one.
`\$foo', the quotes are needed only for `\$[1]', `\$[@]' etc.
Prefer `$$1' to `[$]$1', `$foo' to `[$]foo', `$[1]' to `[$]1' etc.
* aclang.m4: Likewise.
* acspecific.m4: Likewise.
Rename as:
(_AC_PROG_CC_GNU, _AC_PROG_CXX_GNU, _AC_PROG_F77_GNU): these.
Compute the value of GCC, GXX and G77 here.
Set to `no' (instead of empty) if not the GNU compiler.
(AC_PROG_CC, AC_PROG_CXX, AC_PROG_F77): Adjust.
* doc/autoconf.texi: Adjust.
Using --host enables cross-compilation.
* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): `--host' enables cross
compilation.
(AC_CANONICAL_BUILD): The help string should explicitly mention
cross compilation.
* aclang.m4 (AC_LANG(C), AC_LANG(C++), AC_LANG(Fortran 77)): Don't
set `cross_compiling'.
(AC_PROG_CC, AC_PROG_CXX, AC_PROG_F77): Run your `WORK' partner
only if not cross-compiling.
(AC_PROG_CC_WORKS, AC_PROG_CXX_WORKS, AC_PROG_F77_WORKS):
If does not work, don't assume an implicit cross-compilation:
fail.
* doc/autoconf.texi: Adjust.
(AC_CHECK_MEMBER, AC_CHECK_MEMBERS): Fix to work properly on
`struct f.g.h'.
* acspecific.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Use AC_CHECK_HEADERS and
AC_CHECK_MEMBERS instead of performing their task by hand.
contains all the possible subdirs for `--help=recursive', and
another, `subdirs' which can be built dynamically for launching
sub configurations.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS): Define `subdirs' dynamically.
Define `ac_subdirs_all' statically.
Warn if the argument is not a literal.
(AC_LIST_SUBDIRS): Rename as...
(_AC_LIST_SUBDIRS): this.
(_AC_INIT_HELP): Loop over `ac_subdirs_all', not `subdirs'.
(_AC_OUTPUT_SUBDIRS): Loop over `subdirs', not `AC_LIST_SUBDIRS'.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Subdirectories): Adjust.
* acgeneral.m4: Replace all the `test ! -d foo && bar' with
`test -d foo || bar'.
* Makefile.am (.m4.m4f): Stop hiding what you're doing.
Don't check for GNU m4, let it die.

=========
_//_ _\_ The ``Eiffel Tower'' Release
* autoupdate.sh: Complete rewrite. See that file for a detailed
explanation. Basically, simulate the name spaces thanks to
`autoconf --trace' and auxiliary files.
No longer use `autoupdate.m4', remove the dependencies.
Synchronize the options and `--help'.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Invoking autoupdate): Humanoupdate.
* autoupdate.m4: Delete.
* tests/Makefile.am (FILTER_MACROS): Add `AC_OUTPUT'.
Since `AC_OUTPUT' is now AU_DEFUN'd, it is extracted for testing,
while it was not before.
* tests/tools.m4 (autoupdate): Re-enable. Adjust the expected
output with the right quotation (yeah!).
Pass `-m $top_srcdir': autoupdate want the `.m4' files, not the
frozen files.
* Makefile.am (nodistpkgdataDATA): Move `acversion.m4' to
(distpkgdataDATA): here, so that all the `.m4' files are in the
source hierarchy, not split across src and build.
* acversion.m4.in: Update to today's standards.
* Makefile.am: Adjust.

/===+ / It bells, It whistles...
* autoupdate.sh: Complete rewrite. See that file for a detailed
explanation.
* acgeneral.sh: Don't use AU_DEFINE, but AU_DEFUN.
(AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS_CNT): Renamed as...
(_AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS_CNT): this.
* aclang.m4 (_AC_LANG_CURRENT, AC_LANG_STACK): You two are the same
thing, which now we shall name `_AC_LANG'.
All users adjusted.
(AC_LANG_PUSH, AC_LANG_POP): New macros.
(AC_LANG_SAVE, AC_LANG_RESTORE): AU defined.
(AC_PROG_CC_WORKS, AC_PROG_CXXCPP, AC_PROG_CXX_WORKS,
AC_PROG_F77_WORKS, AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS, AC_F77_NAME_MANGLING):
Use them.
(AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS): Move the requirements at its top.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Language Choice): Document them.
(Old Macros): Welcome AC_LANG_SAVE and AC_LANG_RESTORE.
* acgeneral.m4 (AC_DECL_YYTEXT): Rename as
(_AC_DECL_YYTEXT): this.
(AC_PROG_LEX): Use it.
(AC_DECL_YYTEXT): New AU macro.
* doc/autoconf.texi: Adjust.
