-
-dnl m4_quote(STRING)
-dnl ----------------
-dnl Return STRING quoted.
-dnl
-dnl It is important to realize the difference between `quote(exp)' and
-dnl `[exp]': in the first case you obtain the quoted *result* of the
-dnl expansion of EXP, while in the latter you just obtain the string
-dnl `exp'.
-define([m4_quote], [[$@]])
-
-
-dnl m4_split(STRING, [REGEXP])
-dnl --------------------------
-dnl Split STRING into an m4 list of quoted elements. The elements are
-dnl quoted with [ and ]. Beginning spaces and end spaces *are kept*.
-dnl Use m4_strip to remove them.
-dnl
-dnl REGEXP specifies where to split. Default is [\t ]+.
-dnl
-dnl Pay attention to the changequotes. Inner changequotes exist for
-dnl obvious reasons (we want to insert square brackets). Outer
-dnl changequotes are needed because otherwise the m4 parser, when it
-dnl sees the closing bracket we add to the result, believes it is the
-dnl end of the body of the macro we define.
-dnl
-dnl Also, notice that $1 is quoted twice, since we want the result to be
-dnl quoted. Then you should understand that the argument of patsubst is
-dnl ``STRING'' (i.e., with additional `` and '').
-dnl
-dnl This macro is safe on active symbols, i.e.:
-dnl define(active, ACTIVE)
-dnl m4_split([active active ])end
-dnl => [active], [active], []end
-changequote(<<, >>)
-define(<<m4_split>>,
-<<changequote(``, '')dnl
-[dnl Can't use m4_default here instead of ifelse, because m4_default uses
-dnl [ and ] as quotes.
-patsubst(````$1'''',
- ifelse(``$2'',, ``[ ]+'', ``$2''),
- ``], ['')]dnl
-changequote([, ])>>)
-changequote([, ])
-
-
-dnl m4_join(STRING)
-dnl ---------------
-dnl If STRING contains end of lines, replace them with spaces. If there
-dnl are backslashed end of lines, remove them. This macro is safe with
-dnl active symbols.
-dnl define(active, ACTIVE)
-dnl m4_join([active
-dnl act\
-dnl ive])end
-dnl => active activeend
-define([m4_join],
-[translit(patsubst([[[$1]]], [\\
-]), [
-], [ ])])
-
-
-dnl m4_strip(STRING)
-dnl ----------------
-dnl Expands into STRING with tabs and spaces singled out into a single
-dnl space, and removing leading and trailing spaces.
-dnl
-dnl This macro is robust to active symbols.
-dnl define(active, ACTIVE)
-dnl m4_strip([ active active ])end
-dnl => active activeend
-dnl
-dnl This macro is fun! Because we want to preserve active symbols, STRING
-dnl must be quoted for each evaluation, which explains there are 4 levels
-dnl of brackets around $1 (don't forget that the result must be quoted
-dnl too, hence one more quoting than applications).
-dnl
-dnl Then notice the patsubst of the middle: it is in charge of removing
-dnl the leading space. Why not just `patsubst(..., [^ ])'? Because this
-dnl macro will receive the output of the preceding patsubst, i.e. more or
-dnl less [[STRING]]. So if there is a leading space in STRING, then it is
-dnl the *third* character, since there are two leading `['; Equally for
-dnl the outer patsubst.

-[patsubst(patsubst(patsubst([[[[$1]]]],
- [[ ]+], [ ]),

-dnl m4_append(MACRO-NAME, STRING)
-dnl -----------------------------
-dnl Redefine MACRO-NAME to hold its former content plus STRING at the
-dnl end. It is valid to use this macro with MACRO-NAME undefined.
-dnl
-dnl This macro is robust to active symbols. It can be used to grow
-dnl strings.

-define(m4_list_append,

-ifdef([$1], [defn([$1]), ])[$2])])
-
-
-dnl ------------------------------------------------------------
-dnl Some additional m4 structural control.
-dnl ------------------------------------------------------------
-
-dnl Both `ifval' and `ifset' tests against the empty string. The
-dnl difference is that `ifset' is specialized on macros.
-dnl
-dnl In case of arguments of macros, eg $[1], it makes little difference.
-dnl In the case of a macro `FOO', you don't want to check `ifval(FOO,
-dnl TRUE)', because if `FOO' expands with commas, there is a shifting of
-dnl the arguments. So you want to run `ifval([FOO])', but then you just
-dnl compare the *string* `FOO' against `', which, of course fails.
-dnl
-dnl So you want a variation of `ifset' that expects a macro name as $[1].
-dnl If this macro is both defined and defined to a non empty value, then
-dnl it runs TRUE etc.
-
-
-dnl ifval(COND, IF-TRUE[, IF-FALSE])
-dnl --------------------------------
-dnl If COND is not the empty string, expand IF-TRUE, otherwise IF-FALSE.
-dnl Comparable to ifdef.

-dnl expand IF-FALSE, otherwise IF-TRUE.
-define([ifset],
-[ifdef([$1],
- [ifelse(defn([$1]), [], [$3], [$2])],

-## Implementing m4 loops ##
-## --------------------- ##
-
-
-# Implementing loops (`foreach' loops) in m4 is much more tricky than it
-# may seem. Actually, the example of a `foreach' loop in the m4
-# documentation is wrong: it does not quote the arguments properly,
-# which leads to undesired expansions.
-#
-# The example in the documentation is:
-#
-# | # foreach(x, (item_1, item_2, ..., item_n), stmt)
-# | define(`foreach',
-# | `pushdef(`$1', `')_foreach(`$1', `$2', `$3')popdef(`$1')')
-# | define(`_arg1', `$1')
-# | define(`_foreach',
-# | `ifelse(`$2', `()', ,
-# | `define(`$1', _arg1$2)$3`'_foreach(`$1', (shift$2), `$3')')')
-#
-# But then if you run
-#
-# | define(a, 1)
-# | define(b, 2)
-# | define(c, 3)
-# | foreach(`f', `(`a', `(b', `c)')', `echo f
-# | ')
-#
-# it gives
-#
-# => echo 1
-# => echo (2,3)
-#
-# which is not what is expected.
-#
-# Once you understood this, you turn yourself into a quoting wizard,
-# and come up with the following solution:
-#
-# | # foreach(x, (item_1, item_2, ..., item_n), stmt)
-# | define(`foreach', `pushdef(`$1', `')_foreach($@)popdef(`$1')')
-# | define(`_arg1', ``$1'')
-# | define(`_foreach',
-# | `ifelse($2, `()', ,
-# | `define(`$1', `_arg1$2')$3`'_foreach(`$1', `(shift$2)', `$3')')')
-#
-# which this time answers
-#
-# => echo a
-# => echo (b
-# => echo c)
-#
-# Bingo!
-
-
-# m4_foreach(VARIABLE, LIST, EXPRESSION)
-# --------------------------------------
-# Expand EXPRESSION assigning to VARIABLE each value of the LIST
-# (LIST should have the form `[(item_1, item_2, ..., item_n)]'),
-# i.e. the whole list should be *quoted*. Quote members too if
-# you don't want them to be expanded.
-#
-# This macro is robust to active symbols:
-# define(active, ACTIVE)
-# m4_foreach([Var], [([active], [b], [active])], [-Var-])end

-dnl AC_WRAP(STRING [, PREFIX[, FIRST-PREFIX[, WIDTH]]]]))
-dnl -----------------------------------------------------
-dnl Expands into STRING wrapped to hold in WIDTH columns (default = 79).
-dnl If prefix is set, each line is prefixed with it. If FIRST-PREFIX is
-dnl specified, then the first line is prefixed with it. As a special
-dnl case, if the length of the first prefix is greater than that of
-dnl PREFIX, then FIRST-PREFIX will be left alone on the first line.
-dnl
-dnl Typical outputs are:
-dnl
-dnl AC_WRAP([Short string */], [ ], [/* ], 20)
-dnl => /* Short string */
-dnl
-dnl AC_WRAP([Much longer string */], [ ], [/* ], 20)

-dnl ------------------------------------------------------------
-dnl Text processing in m4.
-dnl ------------------------------------------------------------
-
-dnl m4_quote(STRING)
-dnl ----------------
-dnl Return STRING quoted.
-dnl
-dnl It is important to realize the difference between `quote(exp)' and
-dnl `[exp]': in the first case you obtain the quoted *result* of the
-dnl expansion of EXP, while in the latter you just obtain the string
-dnl `exp'.
-define([m4_quote], [[$@]])
-
-
-dnl m4_split(STRING, [REGEXP])
-dnl --------------------------
-dnl Split STRING into an m4 list of quoted elements. The elements are
-dnl quoted with [ and ]. Beginning spaces and end spaces *are kept*.
-dnl Use m4_strip to remove them.
-dnl
-dnl REGEXP specifies where to split. Default is [\t ]+.
-dnl
-dnl Pay attention to the changequotes. Inner changequotes exist for
-dnl obvious reasons (we want to insert square brackets). Outer
-dnl changequotes are needed because otherwise the m4 parser, when it
-dnl sees the closing bracket we add to the result, believes it is the
-dnl end of the body of the macro we define.
-dnl
-dnl Also, notice that $1 is quoted twice, since we want the result to be
-dnl quoted. Then you should understand that the argument of patsubst is
-dnl ``STRING'' (i.e., with additional `` and '').
-dnl
-dnl This macro is safe on active symbols, i.e.:
-dnl define(active, ACTIVE)
-dnl m4_split([active active ])end
-dnl => [active], [active], []end
-changequote(<<, >>)
-define(<<m4_split>>,
-<<changequote(``, '')dnl
-[dnl Can't use m4_default here instead of ifelse, because m4_default uses
-dnl [ and ] as quotes.
-patsubst(````$1'''',
- ifelse(``$2'',, ``[ ]+'', ``$2''),
- ``], ['')]dnl
-changequote([, ])>>)
-changequote([, ])
-
-
-dnl m4_join(STRING)
-dnl ---------------
-dnl If STRING contains end of lines, replace them with spaces. If there
-dnl are backslashed end of lines, remove them. This macro is safe with
-dnl active symbols.
-dnl define(active, ACTIVE)
-dnl m4_join([active
-dnl act\
-dnl ive])end
-dnl => active activeend
-define([m4_join],
-[translit(patsubst([[[$1]]], [\\
-]), [
-], [ ])])
-
-
-dnl m4_strip(STRING)
-dnl ----------------
-dnl Expands into STRING with tabs and spaces singled out into a single
-dnl space, and removing leading and trailing spaces.
-dnl
-dnl This macro is robust to active symbols.
-dnl define(active, ACTIVE)
-dnl m4_strip([ active active ])end
-dnl => active activeend
-dnl
-dnl This macro is fun! Because we want to preserve active symbols, STRING
-dnl must be quoted for each evaluation, which explains there are 4 levels
-dnl of brackets around $1 (don't forget that the result must be quoted
-dnl too, hence one more quoting than applications).
-dnl
-dnl Then notice the patsubst of the middle: it is in charge of removing
-dnl the leading space. Why not just `patsubst(..., [^ ])'? Because this
-dnl macro will receive the output of the preceding patsubst, i.e. more or
-dnl less [[STRING]]. So if there is a leading space in STRING, then it is
-dnl the *third* character, since there are two leading `['; Equally for
-dnl the outer patsubst.

-dnl m4_append(MACRO-NAME, STRING)
-dnl -----------------------------
-dnl Redefine MACRO-NAME to hold its former content plus STRING at the
-dnl end. It is valid to use this macro with MACRO-NAME undefined.
-dnl
-dnl This macro is robust to active symbols. It can be used to grow
-dnl strings.

-
-dnl m4_list_append(MACRO-NAME, STRING)
-dnl ----------------------------------
-dnl Same as `m4_append', but each element is separated by `, '.
-define(m4_list_append,
-[define([$1],
-ifdef([$1], [defn([$1]), ])[$2])])
-
-
-dnl ------------------------------------------------------------
-dnl Some additional m4 structural control.
-dnl ------------------------------------------------------------
-
-dnl Both `ifval' and `ifset' tests against the empty string. The
-dnl difference is that `ifset' is specialized on macros.
-dnl
-dnl In case of arguments of macros, eg $[1], it makes little difference.
-dnl In the case of a macro `FOO', you don't want to check `ifval(FOO,
-dnl TRUE)', because if `FOO' expands with commas, there is a shifting of
-dnl the arguments. So you want to run `ifval([FOO])', but then you just
-dnl compare the *string* `FOO' against `', which, of course fails.
-dnl
-dnl So you want a variation of `ifset' that expects a macro name as $[1].
-dnl If this macro is both defined and defined to a non empty value, then
-dnl it runs TRUE etc.
-
-
-dnl ifval(COND, IF-TRUE[, IF-FALSE])
-dnl --------------------------------
-dnl If COND is not the empty string, expand IF-TRUE, otherwise IF-FALSE.
-dnl Comparable to ifdef.
-define([ifval], [ifelse([$1],[],[$3],[$2])])
-
-
-dnl ifset(MACRO, IF-TRUE[, IF-FALSE])

-dnl If MACRO has no definition, or of its definition is the empty string,
-dnl expand IF-FALSE, otherwise IF-TRUE.
-define([ifset],
-[ifdef([$1],
- [ifelse(defn([$1]), [], [$3], [$2])],
- [$3])])
-
-
-dnl m4_default(EXP1, EXP2)

-## Implementing m4 loops ##
-## --------------------- ##
-
-
-# Implementing loops (`foreach' loops) in m4 is much more tricky than it
-# may seem. Actually, the example of a `foreach' loop in the m4
-# documentation is wrong: it does not quote the arguments properly,
-# which leads to undesired expansions.
-#
-# The example in the documentation is:
-#
-# | # foreach(x, (item_1, item_2, ..., item_n), stmt)
-# | define(`foreach',
-# | `pushdef(`$1', `')_foreach(`$1', `$2', `$3')popdef(`$1')')
-# | define(`_arg1', `$1')
-# | define(`_foreach',
-# | `ifelse(`$2', `()', ,
-# | `define(`$1', _arg1$2)$3`'_foreach(`$1', (shift$2), `$3')')')
-#
-# But then if you run
-#
-# | define(a, 1)
-# | define(b, 2)
-# | define(c, 3)
-# | foreach(`f', `(`a', `(b', `c)')', `echo f
-# | ')
-#
-# it gives
-#
-# => echo 1
-# => echo (2,3)
-#
-# which is not what is expected.
-#
-# Once you understood this, you turn yourself into a quoting wizard,
-# and come up with the following solution:
-#
-# | # foreach(x, (item_1, item_2, ..., item_n), stmt)
-# | define(`foreach', `pushdef(`$1', `')_foreach($@)popdef(`$1')')
-# | define(`_arg1', ``$1'')
-# | define(`_foreach',
-# | `ifelse($2, `()', ,
-# | `define(`$1', `_arg1$2')$3`'_foreach(`$1', `(shift$2)', `$3')')')
-#
-# which this time answers
-#
-# => echo a
-# => echo (b
-# => echo c)
-#
-# Bingo!
-
-
-# m4_foreach(VARIABLE, LIST, EXPRESSION)
-# --------------------------------------
-# Expand EXPRESSION assigning to VARIABLE each value of the LIST
-# (LIST should have the form `[(item_1, item_2, ..., item_n)]'),
-# i.e. the whole list should be *quoted*. Quote members too if
-# you don't want them to be expanded.
-#
-# This macro is robust to active symbols:
-# define(active, ACTIVE)
-# m4_foreach([Var], [([active], [b], [active])], [-Var-])end
-# => -active--b--active-end

-dnl AC_WRAP(STRING [, PREFIX[, FIRST-PREFIX[, WIDTH]]]]))
-dnl -----------------------------------------------------
-dnl Expands into STRING wrapped to hold in WIDTH columns (default = 79).
-dnl If prefix is set, each line is prefixed with it. If FIRST-PREFIX is
-dnl specified, then the first line is prefixed with it. As a special
-dnl case, if the length of the first prefix is greater than that of
-dnl PREFIX, then FIRST-PREFIX will be left alone on the first line.
-dnl
-dnl Typical outputs are:
-dnl
-dnl AC_WRAP([Short string */], [ ], [/* ], 20)
-dnl => /* Short string */
-dnl
-dnl AC_WRAP([Much longer string */], [ ], [/* ], 20)

+## Implementing m4 loops ##
+## --------------------- ##
+
+
+# Implementing loops (`foreach' loops) in m4 is much more tricky than it
+# may seem. Actually, the example of a `foreach' loop in the m4
+# documentation is wrong: it does not quote the arguments properly,
+# which leads to undesired expansions.
+#
+# The example in the documentation is:
+#
+# | # foreach(x, (item_1, item_2, ..., item_n), stmt)
+# | define(`foreach',
+# | `pushdef(`$1', `')_foreach(`$1', `$2', `$3')popdef(`$1')')
+# | define(`_arg1', `$1')
+# | define(`_foreach',
+# | `ifelse(`$2', `()', ,
+# | `define(`$1', _arg1$2)$3`'_foreach(`$1', (shift$2), `$3')')')
+#
+# But then if you run
+#
+# | define(a, 1)
+# | define(b, 2)
+# | define(c, 3)
+# | foreach(`f', `(`a', `(b', `c)')', `echo f
+# | ')
+#
+# it gives
+#
+# => echo 1
+# => echo (2,3)
+#
+# which is not what is expected.
+#
+# Once you understood this, you turn yourself into a quoting wizard,
+# and come up with the following solution:
+#
+# | # foreach(x, (item_1, item_2, ..., item_n), stmt)
+# | define(`foreach', `pushdef(`$1', `')_foreach($@)popdef(`$1')')
+# | define(`_arg1', ``$1'')
+# | define(`_foreach',
+# | `ifelse($2, `()', ,
+# | `define(`$1', `_arg1$2')$3`'_foreach(`$1', `(shift$2)', `$3')')')
+#
+# which this time answers
+#
+# => echo a
+# => echo (b
+# => echo c)
+#
+# Bingo!
+
+
+# m4_foreach(VARIABLE, LIST, EXPRESSION)
+# --------------------------------------

+# (LIST should have the form `[(item_1, item_2, ..., item_n)]'),
+# i.e. the whole list should be *quoted*. Quote members too if
+# you don't want them to be expanded.
+#

+#
+# REGEXP specifies where to split. Default is [\t ]+.

+# Pay attention to the changequotes. Inner changequotes exist for

+#
+# Then notice the patsubst of the middle: it is in charge of removing
