 	*  acgeneral.m4 (AC_CANONICALIZE): New macro.

+	Change the defaults for build, host, and target systems:
+	build  defaults to `config.guess`.
+	host   defaults to $build.
+	target defaults to $host.
+	Suggested by Mo DeJong, Pavel Roskin, Tom Tromey, Ian Lance

+	* acgeneral.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Set `$build', `$host' and

+	(AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM): AU_DEFUN'd as `AC_CANONICAL_TARGET'.
+	(_AC_CANONICAL_THING): Use an explicit m4_case to set the defaults

+	Implement the default values.
+	(AC_CANONICAL_TARGET): Handle the `AC_ARG_PROGRAM' part
+	`AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM' used to provide.

+	When receiving an explicit argument, consider this is a default

+	Some scripts might still depend on this historical syntax.

+	Documenting --build, --host and --target when configure does not
+	handle them causes confusion.
+	Suggested by Pavel Roskin.
+	Nevertheless configure must not die on such an `unsupported'
+	option: it does happen that people build an entire tree of
+	packages, some of them expecting `--host' etc. some others not.

 	Multiple `-e' to egrep are not portable.  On IRIX 6.5 and Solaris
