* acgeneral.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS): Renamed as...
(_AC_OUTPUT_HEADERS): this. All callers changed.
Don't mess with changequote, just quote properly.
Bug 1. Because of the `#' in `ac_dA', the quotes <<>> were not
removed, and therefore the sed script contained `<<define>>'
instead of `define'. Now that the block is properly quoted, there
is no need to quote `define'.
Bug 2. Once a `#define' substitution performed, we were branching
to the top of the sed script (`t top'). This resulted in an
endless substitution of `#define foo 1' to `#define foo 1'.
Branching is not enough: you also have to fetch the next input
line, i.e., use `t' instead of `t t' in ac_dD, and don't output
`: top' in `config.defines'.
Though it was correct for `#undef' templates, just apply the same
transformation to `ac_uD' and `config.undefs'.
Bug 3. Don't try to preserve what was behind the value in the
template, since on
#define NAME "bar baz"
it leads to
#define NAME 1 baz"

is at least a space) and `ac_dC' only outputs a space.
