GNU Autoconf NEWS - User visible changes.

* Major changes in Autoconf 2.63 (2008-09-09) [stable]
  Released by Eric Blake, based on git versions 2.62.*.

** AC_C_BIGENDIAN does not mistakenly report "universal" for some
   bigendian hosts, a regression introduced with universal binary
   support in 2.62.

** AC_PATH_X now includes /lib64 and /usr/lib64 in its list of default
   library directories.

** AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS no longer conflicts with an external
   AC_DEFINE([__EXTENSIONS__]).  This fixes a regression introduced in
   2.62 when using macros such as AC_AIX that were made obsolete in
   favor of the more portable AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS.

** AC_CHECK_TARGET_TOOLS is usable in the non-cross-compile case.

** Newly obsolete macros
   The following macro has been marked obsolete, since current porting
   targets can safely assume C89 semantics that signal handlers return
   void.  We have no current plans to remove the macro.

     AC_TYPE_SIGNAL

** The macros m4_map and m4_map_sep now ignore any list elements
   consisting of just empty quotes, and m4_map_sep now expands its
   separator.  This fixes a regression in 2.62 when these macros were
   first documented, for the sake of clients expecting the semantics
   that these macros had prior to that time.  The new macros m4_mapall
   and m4_mapall_sep, along with extra quoting of the separator, can
   be used to get the semantics that m4_map_sep had in 2.62.

** Clients of m4_expand, such as AS_HELP_STRING and AT_SETUP, can now
   handle properly quoted but otherwise unbalanced parentheses (for
   some macros, this fixes a regression in 2.62).

** Two new quadrigraphs have been introduced: @{:@ for (, and @:}@ for ),
   allowing the output of unbalanced parentheses in more contexts.

** The following m4sugar macros are new:
   m4_joinall  m4_mapall  m4_mapall_sep  m4_reverse  m4_set_add
   m4_set_add_all  m4_set_contains  m4_set_contents  m4_set_delete
   m4_set_difference  m4_set_dump  m4_set_empty  m4_set_foreach
   m4_set_intersection  m4_set_list  m4_set_listc  m4_set_remove
   m4_set_size  m4_set_union

** The following m4sugar macros now accept multiple arguments, as is the
   case with underlying m4:
   m4_defn  m4_popdef  m4_undefine

** The following m4sugar macros now guarantee linear scaling; they
   previously had linear scaling with m4 1.6 but quadratic scaling
   when using m4 1.4.x.  All macros built on top of these also gain
   the scaling improvements.
   m4_bmatch  m4_bpatsubsts  m4_case  m4_cond  m4_do  m4_dquote_elt
   m4_foreach  m4_join  m4_list_cmp  m4_map  m4_map_sep  m4_max
   m4_min  m4_shiftn

** AT_KEYWORDS once again performs expansion on its argument, such that
   AT_KEYWORDS([m4_if([$1], [], [default])]) no longer complains about
   the possibly unexpanded m4_if [regression introduced in 2.62].

** Config header templates `#undef UNDEFINED /* comment */' do not lead to
   nested comments any more; regression introduced in 2.62.

Log message:
Update to 2.62:

* Major changes in Autoconf 2.62 (2008-04-05) [stable]
  Released by Eric Blake, based on git versions 2.61a.*.

** Many optimizations have been applied to make overall execution faster.

** Autotest now makes use of shell functions.

** config.status now uses awk instead of sed also for config headers.

   - As a side effect, AC_DEFINE and AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED now handle multi-line
     values, i.e., backslash-newline combinations are handled correctly.
     Further, for config headers, the total size of values is not limited by
     the POSIX length limit of text lines any more, only each single line.

** New config variable `top_build_prefix'.

** New Autoconf macros:
   AC_AUTOCONF_VERSION  AC_OPENMP  AC_PATH_PROGS_FEATURE_CHECK

** AC_C_BIGENDIAN now supports universal binaries a la Mac OS X.

** AC_C_RESTRICT now prefers to #define 'restrict' to a variant spelling
   like '__restrict' if the variant spelling is available, as this is
   more likely to work when mixing C and C++ code.

** AC_CHECK_ALIGNOF's type argument T is now documented better: it must
   be a string of tokens such that "T y;" is a valid member declaration
   in a struct.

** AC_CHECK_SIZEOF now accepts objects as well as types: the general rule
   is that sizeof (X) works, then AC_CHECK_SIZEOF (X) should work.

** AC_CHECK_TYPE and AC_CHECK_TYPES now work on any C type-name; formerly,
   they did not work for function types.  In C++, they now work on any
   type-id that can be the operand of sizeof; this is similar to C,
   except it excludes anonymous struct and union types.  Formerly,
   some (but not all) C++ types involving anonymous struct and union
   were accepted, though this was not documented.

** AC_CONFIG_LINKS now prefers to link against files in the build tree
   if found, and it works to link against a file of the same name in
   the source tree, even if both trees coincide.

** AC_INIT no longer alters $@; regression introduced in 2.60.

** AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS now defines _ALL_SOURCE for Interix platforms.

** AS_HELP_STRING no longer underquotes its first argument; it also handles
   the case where the first argument contains single-quoted commas.
   For example, "AS_HELP_STRING([-a, [--arg[=foo]]], [bar])" produces:
     "  -a, --arg[=foo]         bar"
   Additionally, the macro now takes two additional arguments,
   indent-column and wrap-column; these should not normally be needed,
   but can be used to fine-tune how the output text is wrapped.

** AC_PROG_INSTALL now requires an install program that can install multiple
   files into a target directory.

** The command 'autoconf -' now correctly processes a file from stdin.

** 'autoreconf -m' now honors $MAKE.

** For all of the directory arguments for 'configure', such as '--prefix'
   or '--bindir', trailing slashes are stripped.  As an example, if
   tab completion in the user's shell appends trailing slashes, the
   command './configure --prefix=/usr/' will still result in an
   expanded libdir value of /usr/lib, not /usr//lib.

** `configure --help=recursive' now works in read-only trees and from
   unconfigured build trees.

** If precious variables differ only in whitespace, then the cache consistency
   check warns instead of fails, and reuses the old value.

** AT_BANNER is now documented.

** AT_SETUP now handles macro expansions properly when calculating line
   length.

** Autotest now determines $srcdir correctly.

** Testsuites built by autotest now accept a -C/--directory=DIR option
   to adjust the working directory prior to creating files.

** Autoconf now requires GNU M4 1.4.5 or later.  Earlier versions of M4 have
   a bug in macro tracing that interferes with the interaction between
   Autoconf and Automake.  GNU M4 1.4.11 or later is recommended.  The
   configure search for a working M4 is improved.

** For portability with the eventual M4 2.0, macros should no longer use
   anything larger than $9 to refer to arguments.

** Documentation for m4sugar is improved.

   - The following macros were previously available as undocumented
     interfaces; the macros are now documented as stable interfaces.

     __oline__  m4_assert  m4_bmatch  m4_bpatsubsts  m4_car  m4_case
     m4_cdr  m4_default  m4_divert_once  m4_divert_pop  m4_divert_push
     m4_divert_text  m4_do  m4_errprintn  m4_fatal  m4_flatten
     m4_ifndef  m4_ifset  m4_ifval  m4_ifvaln  m4_location
     m4_n  m4_shiftn  m4_strip  m4_warn

   - The following macros were previously available as undocumented
     interfaces, but had bug fixes or semantic changes as part of this
     release.  Packages that relied on the undocumented behavior
     should be analyzed to make sure they will still work with the
     new documented behavior.

     m4_cmp  m4_list_cmp  m4_join  m4_map  m4_map_sep  m4_sign
     m4_text_box  m4_text_wrap  m4_version_compare

   - The m4_wrap macro used to have unspecified order, but now
     guarantees FIFO order.  m4_wrap_lifo was added to guarantee LIFO
     order.

   - Packages using the undocumented m4sugar macro m4_PACKAGE_VERSION
     should consider using the new AC_AUTOCONF_VERSION instead.

   - m4sugar macros that are not documented in the manual are still
     deemed experimental, and should not be used outside of Autoconf.

** The m4sugar macros m4_append and m4_append_uniq, first documented in
   2.60, have been fixed to treat both the string and the separator
   arguments consistently with regards to quoting.  Prior to this fix,
   m4_append_uniq could mistakenly duplicate entries if the expansion
   of the separator resulted in a different string (for example, if it
   contained quotes, a comma, or a macro name).  However, it means
   that programs previously using
     m4_append([name], [string], [[, ]])
   are now using a four-character separator instead of the intended
   comma and space.  If you need portability to earlier versions of
   Autoconf, you can insert the following snippet after AC_INIT but
   before any other macro expansions, to enforce the new semantics:
     m4_pushdef([m4_append], [m4_define([$1],
	   m4_ifdef([$1], [m4_defn([$1])[$3]])[$2])])
   Additionally, m4_append_uniq now takes optional parameters that can
   be used to take action depending on whether anything was appended,
   and warns if a non-empty separator occurs within the string being
   appended, since that can lead to duplicates.

** The following m4sugar macros are new:
   m4_append_uniq_w  m4_apply  m4_combine  m4_cond  m4_count
   m4_dquote_elt  m4_echo  m4_expand  m4_ignore  m4_make_list  m4_max
   m4_min  m4_newline  m4_shift2  m4_shift3  m4_unquote  m4_wrap_lifo

** Warnings are now generated by default when an installer invokes
   'configure' with an unknown --enable-* or --with-* option.
   These warnings can be disabled with the new AC_DISABLE_OPTION_CHECKING
   macro, or by invoking 'configure' with --disable-option-checking.

** Existing obsolete macros
   The documentation for the following macros is adjusted to make it
   more clear that they have previously been marked obsolete, as their
   functionality can be accomplished by other macros.  We have no
   current plans to remove them from Autoconf.

     AC_ENABLE  AC_STRUCT_ST_BLKSIZE  AC_STRUCT_ST_RDEV  AC_WITH

** Newly obsolete macros
   The following macros have been marked obsolete, as they only
   perform a subset of AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS.  We have no current
   plans to remove them.

     AC_AIX  AC_GNU_SOURCE  AC_ISC_POSIX  AC_MINIX

** AC_C_LONG_DOUBLE is obsolescent.
   The documentation now says that AC_C_LONG_DOUBLE is obsolescent: it
   tests for problems that are so old that it is no longer of
   practical importance on current systems.  New programs need not use
   AC_C_LONG_DOUBLE.  We have no current plans to remove it.

** AC_DIAGNOSE, AC_WARNING, and AC_FATAL are obsolescent.
   The documentation now favors the use of M4sugar macros m4_warn and
   m4_fatal, since the naming makes it more obvious that the
   diagnostics are associated with M4 expansion (ie. when running
   `autoconf'), and offers less confusion with the AC_MSG_ERROR,
   AC_MSG_FAILURE, and AC_MSG_WARN macros which manage diagnostics
   when running `configure'.  We have no current plans to remove these
   macros.

* Major changes in Autoconf 2.61a (2006-12-11)

** AC_FUNC_FSEEKO was broken in 2.61; it didn't make fseeko and ftello visible
   on many platforms.  This has been fixed.

** AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED is now obsolete.  It is still defined for backward
   compatibility but it does nothing.  The macro was already
   obsolescent, as the last systems to have the problem were those
   based on SVR2, which became obsolete in 1987.  The macro had bugs
   on some modern systems and could no longer be maintained reliably
   due to lack of ancient systems to test it on.

** config.status now uses awk instead of sed for most substitutions, for speed.

   - As a side effect multi-line values of substituted variables no
     longer have a small limit in total size, though for portability
     each line should not exceed the POSIX length limit for text lines.

   - It is now documented that Makefile.in should not contain
     overlapping variable occurrences, e.g., @VAR1@VAR2@.
     Autoconf's behavior was always iffy in such cases, and the
     awk implementation has changed the behavior.

** Many uses of 'echo' have been rewritten so that Autoconf-generated
   scripts have fewer problems with strings or file names containing
   embedded special characters such as backslash or leading "-".  This
   was implemented by using `printf '%s\n' "$foo"' instead of `echo
   "$foo"' when printf works.  Due to the implementation technique
   used, Autoconf-generated scripts now run considerably more slowly
   on ancient implementations lacking printf.  However, this should
   not be a problem, since Autoconf-generated scripts in practice
   invariably find a more-modern shell these days.

Log message:
Update to 2.61:

* Major changes in Autoconf 2.61 (2006-11-17)

** New macros AC_C_FLEXIBLE_ARRAY_MEMBER, AC_C_VARARRAYS.

** AC_ARG_ENABLE and AC_ARG_WITH now allow '.' in feature and package names.

* Major changes in Autoconf 2.60b (2006-10-22)

** BIN_SH
  Autoconf-generated shell scripts no longer export BIN_SH, due to
  configuration hassles with this.  Installers who need BIN_SH in
  their environment should set it before invoking 'configure' and
  'make'.  As far as we know, this affects only Unixware installations.

** Obsolescent macros
  The documentation now says that the following macros are obsolescent,
  as they are superseded by Gnulib:

    AC_FUNC_FNMATCH  AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_GNU  AC_FUNC_GETLOADVG  AC_REPLACE_FNMATCH

  New programs should use the Gnulib counterparts of these macros.
  We have no current plans to remove them from Autoconf.

** AC_COMPUTE_INT no longer caches or reports results.

** AC_CHECK_DECL now also works with aggregate objects.

** AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS now defines _TANDEM_SOURCE for NonStop platforms.

** GNU M4 1.4.7 or later is now recommended.

** m4_mkstemp
  New M4sugar macro, which is more secure than the POSIX M4 maketemp.

** m4_maketemp
  Now an alias for m4_mkstemp.

* Major changes in Autoconf 2.60a (2006-08-25)

** GNU M4 1.4.6 or later is now recommended.

** The check for C99 now tests for varargs macros, as documented.
  It also tests that the preprocessor supports 64-bit integers.

** Autoconf now uses constructs like "#ifdef HAVE_STDLIB_H" rather than
  "#if HAVE_STDLIB_H", so that it now works with "gcc -Wundef \ 
-Werror".

** The functionality of the undocumented _AC_COMPUTE_INT is now provided
  by a public and documented macro, AC_COMPUTE_INT.  The parameters to the
  two macros are different, so autoupdate will not change the old private name
  to the new one.  _AC_COMPUTE_INT may be removed in a future release.

** AC_TYPE_LONG_LONG_INT and AC_TYPE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG_INT now require
   that long long types be at least 64 bits wide, as C99 and tradition
   requires.  Formerly, they accepted implementations of any width.

Log message:
pkgsrc symlinks config/config.guess and config.sub to mk/gnu-config
when you do not preserve timestamps in mk, this can cause
config.guess and config.sub to be newer than config.guess.1 and
config.sub.1.  In that case, the man pages need to be rebuilt, and
build fails because pkgsrc lacks help2man.  Work around this situation.

Log message:
Update to 2.60:

* Major changes in Autoconf 2.60

  Released 2006-06-23, by Ralf Wildenhues.

** Autoconf no longer depends on whether m4wrap is FIFO (as Posix requires)
  or LIFO (as in GNU M4 1.4.x).  GNU M4 2.0 is expected to conform to Posix
  here, so m4wrap/m4_wrap users should no longer depend on LIFO behavior.

** Provide a way to turn off warnings about the changed directory variables.

* Major changes in Autoconf 2.59d

  Released 2006-06-05, by Ralf Wildenhues.

** GNU make now recommended for VPATH builds
  INSTALL now suggests VPATH builds (e.g., "sh ../srcdir/configure")
  only if you use GNU make.  In practice, other 'make' implementations
  have too many subtle incompatibilities in their support for VPATH.
  Many packages (including Autoconf itself) are portable to other
  'make' implementations, but some packages are not, and recommending
  GNU make keeps the installation instructions simpler.

** Even more safety checks for the new Directory variables:
  Warn about suspicious `${datarootdir}' found in config files output.

** AC_TRY_COMMAND, AC_TRY_EVAL, ac_config_guess, ac_config_sub, ac_configure
  These never-documented macros and variables have been marked with
  comments saying that they may be removed in a future release,
  because their use can lead to unintended code being executed.
  If you need functionality that only these macros or variables
  currently supply, please write bug-autoconf@gnu.org.

** AC_SUBST, AC_DEFINE
  Literal arguments to these are passed to m4_pattern_allow now.

** AC_PROG_CC_STDC
  Passing 'ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc=no' to 'configure' now sets ac_cv_prog_cc_c99
  and ac_cv_prog_cc_c89 to 'no' as well, for backward compatibility with
  obsolete K&R tests in the Automake test suite.

** AC_PROG_CXX_C_O
  New macro.

** AC_PROG_MKDIR_P
  New macro.

** AS_MKDIR_P
  Now more robust with special characters in file names, or when
  multiple processes create the same directory at the same time.

** Obsolescent macros
  The documentation now says that the following macros are obsolescent:
  they test for problems that are so old that they are no longer of
  practical importance on current systems.

    AC_C_BACKSLASH_A       AC_FUNC_MEMCMP            AC_HEADER_DIRENT
    AC_C_CONST             AC_FUNC_SELECT_ARGTYPES   AC_HEADER_STAT
    AC_C_PROTOTYPES        AC_FUNC_SETPGRP           AC_HEADER_STDC
    AC_C_STRINGIZE         AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED  AC_HEADER_SYS_WAIT
    AC_C_VOLATILE          AC_FUNC_STAT              AC_HEADER_TIME
    AC_FUNC_CLOSEDIR_VOID  AC_FUNC_STRFTIME          AC_ISC_POSIX
    AC_FUNC_GETPGRP        AC_FUNC_UTIME_NULL        AC_PROG_GCC_TRADITIONAL
    AC_FUNC_LSTAT          AC_FUNC_VPRINTF           AC_STRUCT_TM

  New programs need not use these macros.  We have no current plans to
  remove them.

** autoreconf
  For compatibility with future Libtool 2.0, autoreconf will invoke
  libtoolize with the option `--ltdl' now, if LT_CONFIG_LTDL_DIR is
  used.

* Major changes in Autoconf 2.59c

  Released 2006-04-12, by Ralf Wildenhues.

** The configure command now redirects standard input from /dev/null,
  to help avoid problems with subsidiary commands that might mistakenly
  read standard input.  AS_ORIGINAL_STDIN_FD points to the original
  standard input before this redirection, if you really want configure to
  read from standard input.

** Directory variables adjusted to recent changes in the GNU Coding Standards.
  The following directory variables are new:

    datarootdir   read-only architecture-independent data root [PREFIX/share]
    localedir     locale-specific message catalogs [DATAROOTDIR/locale]
    docdir        documentation root [DATAROOTDIR/doc/PACKAGE]
    htmldir       html documentation [DOCDIR]
    dvidir        dvi documentation [DOCDIR]
    pdfdir        pdf documentation [DOCDIR]
    psdir         ps documentation [DOCDIR]

  The following variables have new default values:

    datadir       read-only architecture-independent data [DATAROOTDIR]
    infodir       info documentation [DATAROOTDIR/info]
    mandir        man documentation [DATAROOTDIR/man]

  This means that if you use any of `@datadir@', `@infodir@', or
  `@mandir@' in a file, you will have to ensure `${datarootdir}' is
  defined in this file.  As a temporary measure, if any of those are
  found but no mention of `datarootdir', the substitutions will be
  replaced with values that do not contain `${datarootdir}', and a
  warning will be issued.

** @top_builddir@ is now a dir name: it is always nonempty and doesn't have
  a trailing slash.  Similar change will be made to ac_top_builddir in a
  future release; the old style value, which matches (../)*, is (and will
  continue to be) available as ac_top_build_prefix.

** AC_C_TYPEOF
  New macro to check for support of 'typeof' syntax a la GNU C.

** AC_CHECK_DECLS_ONCE, AC_CHECK_FUNCS_ONCE, AC_CHECK_HEADERS_ONCE
  New "once-only" variants of commonly-used macros, to make 'configure'
  smaller and faster in common cases.

** AC_FUNC_STRTOLD
  New macro to check for strtold with C99 semantics.

** AC_HEADER_ASSERT
  New macro that lets builder disable assertions at 'configure'-time.

** AC_PATH_X
  Now checks for X11/Xlib.h and XrmInitialize (X proper) rather than
  X11/Intrinsic.h and XtMalloc (Xt).

** AC_PRESERVE_HELP_ORDER
  New macro that causes `configure' to display help strings for AC_ARG_ENABLE
  and AC_ARG_WITH arguments in one region, in the order defined.  The default
  behavior is to group options of each classes separately.

** AC_PROG_CC, AC_PROG_CXX
  No longer automatically arrange to declare the 'exit' function of C,
  when a C++ compiler is used.  Standard Autoconf macros no longer use
  'exit', so this is no longer an issue for them.  If you use C++, and
  want to call 'exit', you'll have to arrange for its declaration
  yourself.  But we now suggest you return from 'main' instead.

** AC_PROG_CC_C89, AC_PROG_CC_C99
  New macros for ISO C99 support.  AC_PROG_CC_C89 and AC_PROG_CC_C99
  check for ANSI C89 and ISO C99 support respectively.

** AC_PROG_CC_STDC
  Has been unobsoleted, and will check if the compiler supports ISO
  C99, falling back to ANSI C89 if not.  ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc is
  retained for backwards compatibility, assuming the value of
  ac_cv_prog_cc_c99 or ac_cv_prog_cc_c89 (whichever is valid, in
  that order).

** AC_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_INO, AC_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_TYPE
  New macros for checking commonly-used members of struct dirent.

** AC_SUBST
  The substituted value can now contain newlines.

** AC_SUBST_FILE
  The substitution now occurs only when @variable@ is on a line by itself,
  optionally surrounded by spaces and tabs.  The whole line is replaced.

** AC_TYPE_LONG_DOUBLE, AC_TYPE_LONG_DOUBLE_WIDER
  New macros to check for long double, and whether it is wider than double.
  The old macro AC_C_TYPE_LONG_DOUBLE has been marked as obsolete;
  applications should switch to the new macro.

** AC_TYPE_INT8_T, AC_TYPE_INT16_T, AC_TYPE_INT32_T, AC_TYPE_INT64_T,
   AC_TYPE_INTMAX_T, AC_TYPE_INTPTR_T, AC_TYPE_LONG_LONG_INT, AC_TYPE_SSIZE_T,
   AC_TYPE_UINT8_T, AC_TYPE_UINT16_T, AC_TYPE_UINT32_T, AC_TYPE_UINT64_T,
   AC_TYPE_UINTMAX_T, AC_TYPE_UINTPTR_T, AC_TYPE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG_INT
  New macros to check for C99 and POSIX types.

** AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS
  New macro to enable extensions to Posix.

** AH_HEADER
  New macro which is defined to the name of the first declared config header
  or undefined if no config headers have been declared yet.

** AS_HELP_STRING
  The macro correctly handles quadrigraphs now.

** AS_BOURNE_COMPATIBLE, AS_SHELL_SANITIZE, AS_CASE
  These macros are new or published now.

** AT_COPYRIGHT
  New macro for copyright notices in testsuite files.

** ALLOCA, LIBOBJS, LTLIBOBJS
  Object names added to these variables are now prefixed with `${LIBOBJDIR}',
  as in `${LIBOBJDIR}alloca.o'.  LIBOBJDIR is meant to be defined from
  `Makefile.in' in case the object files lie in a different directory.
  The LIBOBJDIR feature is experimental.

** autoreconf
  Supports --no-recursive now.

** New macros to support Erlang/OTP.
  New macros for configuring paths to Erlang tools and libraries:
  AC_ERLANG_PATH_ERLC, AC_ERLANG_NEED_ERLC, AC_ERLANG_PATH_ERL,
  AC_ERLANG_NEED_ERL, AC_ERLANG_CHECK_LIB, AC_ERLANG_SUBST_ROOT_DIR,
  AC_ERLANG_SUBST_LIB_DIR.

  New macros for configuring installation of Erlang libraries:
  AC_ERLANG_SUBST_INSTALL_LIB_DIR, AC_ERLANG_SUBST_INSTALL_LIB_SUBDIR.

** The manual now mentions Gnulib more prominently.

** New macros to support Objective C.
  AC_PROG_OBJC, AC_PROG_OBJCPP.

* Major changes in Autoconf 2.59b

  Released 2004-08-20, by Paul Eggert.

** AC_CHECK_ALIGNOF
  New macro that computes the default alignment of a type.

** AC_CHECK_TOOL, AC_PATH_TOOL, AC_CHECK_TOOLS
  When cross-compiling, these macros will give a warning if the tool
  is not prefixed.  In the future, unprefixed cross tools will not
  be detected; please consult the info documentation for information
  about the reason of this change.

** AC_CHECK_TARGET_TOOL, AC_PATH_TARGET_TOOL, AC_CHECK_TARGET_TOOLS
  New macros that detect programs whose name is prefixed with the
  target type, if the build type and target type are different.

** AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE
  New trace macro that declares expected auxiliary files.

** AC_PROG_GREP
  New macro that tests for a grep program that accepts as a long a line
  as possible.

** AC_PROG_EGREP, AC_PROG_FGREP
  These macros now require AC_PROG_GREP, and try EGREP="$GREP -E" and
  FGREP="$GREP -F" respectively if possible, or else run a path search for
  a program that accepts as long a line as possible.

** AC_PROG_SED
  New macro that tests for a sed program that truncates as few characters
  as possible.
