+       ar-lib: fix configure output for "unrecognized archiver interface"
+       * m4/ar-lib.m4: Ensure that, even when an error is hit while trying
+       to determine the archiver interface kind, the "checking archiver
+       interface" message from configure is properly terminated before
+       an error message is printed, to avoid slightly garbled output.
+       * tests/ar4.test: Enhance.
+       * tests/ar5.test: Likewise.

 +      Merge branch 'msvc' into master
 +      * tests/extra-portability3.test: Use `$original_AUTOMAKE' instead
 +      of hackishly extracting the first component of `$AUTOMAKE'.
 +      * tests/extra-portability.test: Likewise.  Also, since we are at
 +      it, throw in a couple of small extensions and tweakings (suggested
 +      by the minor merge conflicts).
