* Autoconf 2.50
-** AC_SYS_INTERPRETER
-Defines $interpval. This is not a standard name. Do we want to keep
-this? Clarify our policy on those names.
-
** AC_INIT(PACKAGE)
Decide with the team whether they prefer that AC_PACKAGE_NAME etc. be
a macro, or a shell variable ac_package_name. Had we used AC_PACKAGE
`Autoconf', but the tarball is `autoconf-'. What of the space?
Do we need another user input for the name of the tarball?
-** config.status
-Lars seemed to need to be able to apply both the AC_SUBST and
-AC_DEFINE transformation on a single file, which implies that we must
-be able to have `.in' files either in srcdir or in builddir. In fact,
-have a look at the configuration of Zsh: they patch config.status on
-the fly to have it look for the files in builddir instead of srcdir!!!
-There is a real problem, Autoconf must help. BTW, why do they need
-that?

** Doc: autoconf
Document --install. Should --install `fix' configure.in for the user?

** AC_PROVIDE
I think it is the epilogue that should provide, not the prologue. Not
clear: there are risks of circular dependencies :(. In fact the
** Allow --recursive to config.status
So that --recheck does not pass --no-recursive to configure.
