* tests/sh.test: Not all sed's like '/.*n.*/' (Unicos 9 sed
loops endlessly).
`{ cmd; } 2>/dev/null', when cmd has no side effects and might be a
builtin. Note that it is unspecified whether cmd will run within a
subshell (e.g. Bourne shells) or within the current shell (most modern
shells).
(func_configure): Pass --host if $host != $build.
(func_exec): Try executing cross-compiled binaries (e.g. i686 -> i386),
but SKIP rather than FAIL.
* tests/depdemo-relink.test: Do not try to access possibly non-
existent files. SKIP rather than FAIL or PASS falsely when
cross-compiling.
Add _LT_DECLs for host_os, build_alias, build and build_os.
host_os and build were used in a few occasions in ltmain.m4sh
and affect above-mentioned systems, the others are added for
symmetry and in order to be able to detect cross-compiling.

inherited_linker_flags so it puts it on the link line when
linking shared libraries as well as when linking executables.
* tests/inherited_flags.at: test inherited_linker_flags.
* tests/Makefile.am: Add test.
* tests/testsuite.at: Add test.

(func_mode_link): Sprinkle `shift's all over to conform to this.
m4/ltsugar.m4, m4/ltversion.m4, m4/lt~obsolete.m4: RMS says,
'I think the [license of autoconf macro files] should be:
# This file is free software; the Free Software Foundation

Use `$SED -n' instead of `$SED RANGE {..}; d' as AIX sed cannot
handle the latter.
(func_help): start autoconf and automake in subshells to avoid
error messages from ash or Bourne shell if not available.
New variable $opt_debug is either `:' or `set -x' depending on --debug.
Execute at most function entries to cater for ksh which resets `-x'.
* tests/defs.m4sh: Ditto for VERBOSE=debug.

SunOS ksh `case' backslash-escaping bug: protect character class by
variable expansion. Reported by Alexander Kurz <alexander.kurz@qsc.de>.
On darwin, uniq can not take the flags -cd together, thanks to Ralf
for the fix, also ar does not accept N, so we use the fact that
ar x libfoo.a foo.o will always extract the first foo.o in the
archive and we then delete foo.o from the archive, which will also
delete only the first foo.o, then rinse and repeat. Also add markers
for the testuite.
* m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_CONFIG): Add a marker so that we can use a sed
expression to find the shell functions in libtool.
* tests/functests.at: Test this feature.
* tests/testsuite.at: Add the test.
* tests/Makefile.am: Add the test.
* Makefile.am, Makefile.maint: .. install, update it.
* NEWS, doc/libtool.texi (Distributing): .. document it.
