Fix a portability bug reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz: Solaris 8
make handles suffix-rules differently from GNU make.
* bin/Makefile.am (SUFFIXES, .in): Remove.
(autoconf autoheader autoreconf autoupdate ifnames autoscan autom4te):
Move the body of the old .in rule here.
* bin/autoreconf.in: Don't use Cwd::chdir, since in its internals
(chdir_init) might hang when stat'ing mounted directories.
Reported by Vance Shipley.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Defining Symbols): Present two different
prototypes for AC_DEFINE and AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED to emphasize the
difference between 1 argument calls, and 2-3 argument calls.

* doc/autoconf.texi (Defining Symbols): Explain that
AC_DEFINE(var) defaults to 1, but AC_DEFINE(var,,description) does
not; and the AC_DEFINE(var) case is obsolescent.
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PREPARE): Keep the
`duplicates', since the algorithm was too naive and could keep
`--prefix=1 --prefix=2 --prefix=1' as `--prefix=1 --prefix=2', and
keep `--prefix foo --prefix bar' as `--prefix foo bar'.
Reported by Ralf Corsepius.
* tests/torture.at (Configuring subdirectories): Exercise these
cases.
* lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG): Use $srcdir when
looking for a replacement file.
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_CHECK_DECLS): Check that the
directory is relative.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Generic Functions): Clarify the replacement
directory definition.
Reported by Andreas Schwab and Jim Meyering.
* bin/Makefile.am (autoconf, autoheader, autoreconf, autoupdate)
(ifnames, autoscan, autom4te): Since we don't only depend on
configure.ac variables (such as VERSION etc.), but also on prefix
and so forth, depend on Makefile, not configure.ac.
Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Installation Directory Variables): Adjust.
* lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&update_file): s/die/error/.
Reported by Raja R. Harinath.
* bin/autoheader.in, bin/autoreconf.in, bin/autoscan.in,
* bin/autoupdate.in: Use error instead of die.

applied to bin/autoconf.in in the 2002-07-17 patch by Mark D. Roth,
but bin/autoconf.in is generated automatically from bin/autoconf.as.
* lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4 (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Unset ENV, MAIL,
MAILPATH and set PS1, PS2, PS4 to default values, to work
around bug in pre-3.0 UWIN ksh reported by Bruce Lilly.
For LC_ALL etc, first try to set to "C" as POSIX requires and as
the Autoconf documentation specifies; fall back to "unset" only if
this fails. Use a shell for-loop for this rather than an m4 loop,
to shorten the output script.
