autoconf/shell.nix
Zack Weinberg 8b13394605 Add ‘shell.nix’ defining Autoconf’s build dependencies in NixOS terms.
Like the existing ‘manifest.scm’, which does the same job for GNU Guix,
the point of this file is to facilitate testing Autoconf itself on NixOS:
‘nix-shell --pure shell.nix’ gives you an interactive shell with all
the necessary tools in $PATH, and nothing else.
