Dash shipped with Ubutu-11.10 as /bin/sh, among others, still
has a crippled echo builtin that mis-handles backslashes.
* build-aux/options-parser (bs_echo): Adopt the autoconf echo
normalization code to find a suitable replacement for buggy echo
commands.
Adjust all uses of echo to $bs_echo.
* build-aux/extract-trace (func_extract_trace, func_main):
Likewise.
* bootstrap: To retain some execution speed on platforms with
buggy builtin echo, replace most occurrences of `echo' with
`$bs_echo' - except where its arguments will obviously never
contain backslashes or be overly long.

I like to name temporary directories that I will remove shortly
with two leading commas so that they sort lexicographically at
the top of `ls' output. Now, `./configure
--prefix=`pwd`/,,inst' works again, for the first time in
several years.
* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_sed_s_comma): Comma is too common a
character to use routinely as the separator for sed
substitutions on file paths and other variables determined by
the user, causing bugs like the one I describe above. Make sure
we don't accidentally reintroduce any comma separators in
future.

To safely use a non-literal fist argument to 'test', you must
always prepend a literal non-'-' character, but often the second
operand is a constant that doesn't begin with a '-' already, so
always use 'test a = "$b"' instead of the noisy 'test "X$b" = Xa'.
* cf.mk (sc_prohibit_test_const_follws_var): New syntax-check
rule to ensure we don't reintroduce noisy test operands.

In addition to moving the autoconf auxiliary script directory
into the place expected by GNU developers ($top_srcdir/build-aux)
we also simplify libtoolize somewhat by having libltdl use
whatever directory was specified by the parent project. This is
much more flexible, allows libltdl client projects to also use a
single canonical `$top_srcdir/build-aux' auxiliary script
directory, and maintains backward compatibility with existing
projects that wish to continue using $ltdl_dir/config.
* libltdl/config: Moved whole directory from here...
* build-aux: ...to here.
* libtoolize.m4sh (func_install_pkgaux_subproject): Remove.
(func_install_pkgaux_parent): Remove.
(func_install_pkgaux_files): Considerably simplified now that we
have only a single auxiliary directory to worry about.
(subproject_aux_dir): Remove.
* bootstrap.conf (libtool_readme_release_package_substitutions):
No need to substitute our old unusual aux_dir location into
README-release any more.
* cfg.mk (_build-aux): Now that we use the standard location for
this directory, no need to set this variable either.
* configure.ac (AC_INIT): git-version-gen has moved.
(AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR): Adjust.
* Makefile.am (stamp-mk, auxexefiles, auxfiles)
(install-data-local): Use build-aux instead of config.
(libltdl/stamp-mk): Ditto.
* libltdl/configure.ac, tests/cdemo/configure.ac,
tests/demo/configure.ac, tests/depdemo/configure.ac,
tests/f77demo/configure.ac, tests/fcdemo/configure.ac,
tests/mdemo/configure.ac, tests/mdemo2/configure.ac,
tests/pdemo/configure.ac, tests/tagdemo/configure.ac
(AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR): Ditto.
* tests/defs.m4sh (aux_dir): Ditto.
* tests/configure-iface.at, tests/getopt-m4sh.at,
tests/libtoolize.at, tests/subproject.at, tests/testsuite.at:
Ditto.
* Makefile.am (ltdl_ac_aux_dir): Extract at build-time...
* libtoolize.m4sh (require_ltdl_ac_aux_dir): ...so that
libtoolize can access it at runtime without requiring GNU M4 via
the extract-trace script.
(require_Makefile_am_filter): Use it to determine whether the
aux_dir declared in the current (parent) project configure is
compatible with the declarations in installed ltdl autotools
source files.
(require_configure_ac_filter): New function to perform similar
checks and rewrite configure.ac during installation if necessary.
* NEWS: Updated.
