Subject:  (AC_PREFIX): Call AC_PROGRAM_PATH instead of
X-Git-Tag: fsf-origin~602
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=803b83006ee0c8faad461201dee3023f226a8c16;p=thirdparty%2Fautoconf.git

 (AC_PREFIX): Call AC_PROGRAM_PATH instead of
	duplicating it.
	(AC_PROGRAM_CHECK, AC_PROGRAM_PATH): If the user set the variable
	in the environment, cache that value.
	(AC_PREPARE, AC_CHECKING, AC_VERBOSE): Use file descriptors 4 and
	5 for checking and results messages.  Idea from metaconfig 3.0.
