HP-UX sed is 99 commands, not 100.
(_AC_OUTPUT_FILES_PREPARE): Do not count the `}' of an
_AC_SUBST_FILES fragment. Separate `{' and `r' commands by
newline for portability.

AC_SUBST_FILE invocations. Fix test to actually verify the

* tests/mktests.sh: Small shell portability fixes.
(AT_INIT): Use it, to remove arbitrary limit of 999,999 test
cases, and to work around Tru64 expr bug.

expr bug that turns the result of a regex match into a number if
possible.
test, as in `if tests; then cmd1; elif ...; else ...; fi'.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Programming in M4sh): Adjusted.
* tests/m4sh.at (AS_IF and AS_CASE): Test this. Also make sure
both macros are defun'ed so that required macros are evaluated
outside.

obsolete AC_FOREACH.
(Obsolete Macros): Document AC_FOREACH.
* lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (_m4_for): Fix declaration comment.
(m4_for): Fix to never loop (almost) endlessly, work correctly
with arithmetic expressions in arguments, a step of zero or
non-integer multiple of the interval, and avoid integer
overflow.
* tests/m4sugar.at: New test for m4_for, m4_foreach, and
m4_foreach_w.

for the AC_REQUIRE mess.
* NEWS: Mention AS_CASE, AS_BOURNE_COMPATIBLE, and
AS_SHELL_SANITIZE.
Be consistent about spaces after commas.
Insert [] where empty args look a bit funny.
Fix some "i.e." and "e.g." usages.
Try to avoid "X/Y" usages.
Don't be pedantic about "ISO C99"; just say C99.
Prefer GNU style for spaces in front of parens.
(Function Portability): Comment about C89 versus C99
signed integer division.
(Particular Headers): Use current gnulib style for dirent
includes.
macros without parameters.
* lib/autoconf/autoupdate.m4 (AU_ALIAS): Likewise.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Obsoleting Macros): Document AU_ALIAS.
* tests/tools.at (autoupdating AU_ALIAS): New test for AU_ALIAS
`$#' bug.
(autoupdate): Updated to match AU_ALIAS fix.
(_AC_FC_MAIN, __AC_FC_NAME_MANGLING): Use _AC_LANG in check
messages to differentiate Fortran and Fortran 77 tests.
(AC_FC_SRCEXT, AC_FC_FREEFORM): Use AC_LANG_PUSH/POP instead of
AC_LANG_ASSERT, to allow use in mixed-language projects.
correctly: pad with spaces after FIRST_PREFIX if necessary,
and compute string lenghts with `m4_qlen' instead of `m4_len'.
* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_HELP_STRING): Comments updated.
* tests/m4sh.at (AS_HELP_STRING): Test extended.
* NEWS: Updated.

and improve the sed-related documentation a bit.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Installation Directory Variables): Use
our own style advice re 's,a,b,' versus 's|a|b|'. Use "Sed"
rather than "sed" when talking about Sed in general.
(Particular Programs): Likewise.
(Coding Style): y is like s with respect to / and ,.
(Limitations of Usual Tools): Document the weird restrictions
that Posix has about { }. Use better quoting.
* lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_FILES_PREPARE, _AC_OUTPUT_HEADER):
Rewrite to conform to Posix rules about { } in sed scripts.
* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_DIRNAME_SED, AS_BASENAME_SED): Likewise.
* tests/foreign.at (Libtool): Likewise.
* tests/semantics.at (AC_CHECK_PROG & AC_CHECK_PROGS):
Use our own style advice re 's,a,b,' versus 's|a|b|'.

`-def', for the benefit of Portland `pgf90 -Mipa'.

Mention which characters can be escaped with \ in portable regular
expressions used in grep, sed, expr. Mention the leading ^ problem
with expr. Clean up some confusing wording. Mention which
grep options are portable.
CONFIG_SHELL in the environment of the configure rerun.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Here-Documents, config.status Invocation):
Suggest passing CONFIG_SHELL absolute, and in the environment
rather than as option.
Factor functionality to..
(_AC_CHECK_PROG, _AC_PATH_PROG): these new macros, but only
`AC_SUBST($1)' in the public version.
(AC_CHECK_TOOL, AC_PATH_TOOL, AC_PATH_TARGET_TOOL)
(AC_CHECK_TARGET_TOOL): Use internal versions for ac_ct_* and
ac_pt_* variables.
AC_LANG_PROGRAM, fixing a typo. Don't give details about
the inner workings of AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY.
* lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_CALL(C)): Reformat to match
AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY. This involves returning the value returned
by the function rather than ignoring it.
(AC_LANG_FUNC_LINK_TRY(C)): Call the function rather than simply
comparing its address. Intel's interprocedural optimization was
outsmarting the old heuristic. Problem reported by
Mikulas Patocka.
* tests/suite.at: Use it.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_HAND_AT): Add it.
Reported against Libtool by Gideon Go <gideon.go@gmail.com>.
