* test/tools.at: Use AT_CHECK_AUTOCONF. (AWK portability): Remove, for autoconf no longer uses AWK. (Syntax of the Perl scripts): New. * configure.ac: autoconf no longer needs an AWK with a good regexp engine. Use a static test on AC_PACKAGE_VERSION. * autom4te.in (&up_to_date_p): Output depends on the arguments. * lib/autoconf/Makefile.am: Ship version.m4, maintainer file. * tests/atconfig.in (PERL): New. |

-*- text -*- Autoconf Autoconf is an extensible package of M4 macros that produce shell scripts to automatically configure software source code packages. These scripts can adapt the packages to many kinds of UNIX-like systems without manual user intervention. Autoconf creates a configuration script for a package from a template file that lists the operating system features that the package can use, in the form of M4 macro calls. Producing configuration scripts using Autoconf requires GNU M4 and Perl. You must install GNU M4 (version 1.4 or later) and Perl (5.005 or later) before configuring Autoconf, so that Autoconf's configure script can find them. The configuration scripts produced by Autoconf are self-contained, so their users do not need to have Autoconf (or GNU M4, Perl etc.). The file INSTALL should be distributed with packages that use Autoconf-generated configure scripts and Makefiles that conform to the GNU coding standards. The package's README can just give an overview of the package, where to report bugs, and a pointer to INSTALL for instructions on compilation and installation. This removes the need to maintain many similar sets of installation instructions. Be sure to read BUGS (especially if this version is not an official release) and INSTALL. Mail suggestions to autoconf@gnu.org, report bugs on http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl?database=autoconf or to bug-autoconf@gnu.org, and submit patches to autoconf-patches@gnu.org. Always include the Autoconf version number, which you can get by running `autoconf --version'.
