        own macros.

        * acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_HEADER): Check that $CONFIG_HEADERS is
        unset, not that it's empty.

        ac_max_here_lines here from AC_OUTPUT_HEADER.

        * autoheader.sh: Take the multiple-include protection back out.
        It's not needed for a file that just #defines stuff, and, as Ken
        Raeburn pointed out in Apr 1994:
        Since you don't make it optional, and you don't give the writer of
        configure.in much control over the name of the symbol, it also would
        prevent one "config.h" file in a subdirectory from including
        "../config.h" as a way to avoid duplicating some common tests.

        * acspecific.m4 (AC_PROG_CC_WORKS, AC_PROG_CXX_WORKS): Don't try
        running a program, just try linking.
        (AC_C_CROSS): Make the wording clearer.

        (AC_FUNC_VFORK): Call _exit after perror.

        of CC doesn't get eval'd correctly to actually work.
        Directly test whether a space is needed after -R.
        Don't add "-L" to LDFLAGS if $x_libraries is empty.
        (AC_FUNC_STRFTIME): Check for it in -lintl only if it's not in the
        normal libraries.

        * Test release 2.10.3.

        * acspecific.m4 (AC_AIX, AC_MINIX): Remove warnings about AC_TRY_LINK.

        compilers that know that an unused function doesn't have to be
        linked in: call the function directly from main().
        (Removing a legacy from when they tried to run the code, I think-djm.)
        From fnf@ninemoons.com (Fred Fish).

        * acspecific.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Rename ac_save_LIBS to avoid
        a clash with AC_CHECK_LIB.
        From Jim Meyering <meyering@asic.sc.ti.com>.
        (AC_FUNC_FNMATCH, AC_FUNC_MMAP, AC_FUNC_VFORK, AC_FUNC_WAIT3,
        AC_FUNC_STRCOLL, AC_FUNC_MEMCMP): Rename cache variables to avoid
        wrong results if someone calls AC_CHECK_FUNC for these functions.

        * autoheader.sh: Don't cmp with config.h.in if it doesn't exist yet.
        Don't frob lines 1-@TOP@ or @BOTTOM@-end of acconfig.h's.
        Accept TAB as well as SPC after #undef in acconfig.h's.

        tr with sed, to avoid a bug in the AIX 4.1.3.0 tr reported by

        tr interprets \055 as a range specifier, like an unquoted -.

        AC_CHECK_HEADERS_DIRENT): Ditto.

        if not using X, clear out the X variables.
        Check system-dependent libs before system-independent ones.
        Check for more system-dependent libs.
        From Karl Berry.
        Use AC_CHECK_FUNC in the system-dependent libs tests.
        From Larry Schwimmer <rosebud@cyclone.stanford.edu>.
        Wart removal: Don't require AC_ISC_POSIX.

        From gvran@uddeborg.pp.se.
        Don't blather about being called before AC_TRY_LINK,

        * acspecific.m4 (AC_PATH_X, AC_PATH_X_XMKMF, AC_PATH_X_DIRECT):
