	_ Makefile.am: "make back" did not give the correct to remove
	  a file. In this case, the file ac_func_long_long.m4 was
	  renamed into ac_c_long_long.m4
	_ public dirs: sync with gnu ac-archive
	_ acinclude.in:	
	  if no -I arguments are given to acinclude then assume -I. to 
	  search the subdirs of the current directory where acinclude is 
	  invoked
	_ acinclude.in:	
	   make sure to skip aclocal.m4 too, not only acinclude.m4 - and 
	   generalize the skip-rule to skip all files starting with ac and 
	   not-containing an underscore. this gives a chance of less than 
	   one per hundred thousand of a false negative. good enough I guess.
	_ document the change with the default -I. and update year number.
	_ acinclude.in: change (GNU $PACKAGE) into (from $PACKAGE) needed for:
	_ help2man.pl: import into the cvs to regenerated a manpage for
	  include while configuring in cvs - the file is not going to be 
	  put into a "make dist" tarball, only the resulting manpage is.
	_ modify help2man.pl to be useful for "acinclude".
	
2002-01-06 
	_ configure.ac: typo found by Alan Eldridge (alane@users.sfnet)
	
2001-10-12
	_ ag_check_posix_gegcomp -> ag_check_posix_regcomp (typo fix)
	_ reference autogen in the links-table
	_ add a history section for the sfnet branch
	_ document the acinclude right there on the frontpage, the 
	  list of macros on the left side should now be long enough *g*

2001-10-20
	_ Added a makefile to regenerate the autogen-erated macros.
	  It generates the html while it is at it, too.  :-)
	  See the bkorb/*.tpl files.

2001-10-11
	_ adding autogen'erated macros by Bruce Korb in a completely
	  new subdirectory dedicated for his works. This makes it easier
	  to ship them and to put the generated macros under public 
	  review and test.

2001-10-02
	_ change final messages for "inner/outer/sync" to inform what the
	  above echo's would actually do.
	_ instead of scan-first for $acinclude.m4 (ie. acpackage.m4?) do
	  now scan-last ... this is a semantic difference over aclocal as
	  it is assumed that later definitions will always override prior
	  ones while in aclocal later definitions are rejected. This is
	  needed for the specific purpose of letting users install their
	  own user directories (with lowercaps-starting dirname) which
	  could even override aclocal/ definitions or atleast the ones
	  from other users whose dirs are being put into the global
	  ac-archive directories. From these user-macros, the acinclude.m4
	  file shall be constructed - not the global ones. This is very
	  different in its philosophy - do not trust the aclocal-people
	  more than the local or later add-on makers, but let the more
	  recent and more local macros win in the assumption that they
	  somehow know what they are doing. This is right since the
	  ac-archive macros are often just tested by one or three users
	  and there is actually a high chance that the local on-site
	  ac-macro user has a better trick to do things. Just a matter
	  of looking at chances, risks and probabilities therefore...
	
2001-10-31
	_ needed to fix the add_file rule in acinclude - unlike aclocal,
 	  the last definition of a macro wins, and do not warn about it
	  by default. This is better suited for the larget set of very
	  small files macro files in the ac-archive, each having about one
	  macro per file - and it does let the user override macros from
	  either autoconf or ac-archive with her own version being assembled
	  into one directory - and a single "acinclude -I ~" could do the
	  trick.
	_ Makefile.am install rule minor fix
	_ add a dnl-line for each file copied into the acinclude.m4, makes
	  it easier to see where a macro came from.
	

2001-10-30 
	_ forgot in between to tell about some more sync ups
	_ have a new acinclude.in that gets installed
	_ create a new ac-archive-acinclude package that can do the trick

2001-08-26
	_ update ac_create_stdint macro
	_ and small updates to guidod macros
	_ ac-archive.htm fixes

	_ fix some bugs about "make outer"
	_ use parts (!!) of "make outer" to sync sf.net to gnu.org archive
	
2001-08-25
	_ some updates to guidod/ files
	_ add rleigh-files and patch_-files to gnu.org ac-archive
	_ add lots of helper-targets in the makefile - to make it easier
	  like "make inner" "maker outer" "make back" "make sync"
	_ use "make back" to sync with gnu.org ac-archive
	
2001-08-22
	_ add changes to put ac-archive-$version marker on m4 files,
	  also for those being enrolled into ac-archive.tar.gz - so 
	  that users are not confused about their origin - which might
	  be the gnu.ac-archive or the extended sf.ac-archive

	_ import old releases to cvs.ac-archive.sf.net
	_ merge macros with ac-archive at gnu.org
	_ add index_head/index_tail to have gnu page built too ... later
	_ make ac-archive.htm the sf-index html-page instead of the
	  gnu html-page (that is what index_head/tail will be for)

2001-06-03 - <guidod@gmx.de>
	_ add --with-docdir to set an explicit path to install the
	  htmldocs into, docdir-makevar is now ac_subst'd. html-files
	  get installed to $(docdir)/$(PACKAGE)
	_ put the autoconf-archive.tar.gz into the docdir too.

	_ ...
	_ change name to aclocal-archive and place the autoconf-archive
	  macros directly as primary subdirectories.
	_ create a few targets to roll a autoconf-archive.tar.gz from it
	  and to create a autoconf-archive-doc-xxx.tar.gz file
	_ some fixups for it
	_ 0.4.2 release of the new series
	
2001-03-27 - <guidod@gmx.de>
	_ "make rpm" ready, this includes aclocals.spec, make install-doc,
	   adaptions for make doc, and some DESTDIR adapations. The file
	   VERSION can now be removed, the version and package id is
	   extracted from the spec file now.
	_ $(mkinstalldirs)
	
2001-03-23 - <guidod@gmx.de>
	_ a few portability additions for the last three macros.

2001-03-22 - <guidod@gmx.de>
	_ three new macros: ac_prog_cc_strict_prototypes
	  ac_prog_cc_writeable_strings ac_prog_cc_char_subscripts

	  unlike the "tr" command.
	TODO: change also ac_need_target and ac_prefix_config (did skip
	  these because newer ac_create_xxx are currently used by me).
2001-03-10 - <guidod@gmx.de>
	_ solaris shell will expand every '*' or name with '*'
	  to be nothing if it matched nothing. Need to update
	  expr for cond_with_level.
2001-03-09 - <guidod@gmx.de>
	_ ac_create_generic_config:
	  add general replacement for -I//varname
	  add --xxxinc targets that return -Ixxdir
	  let --data point to --pkgdatainc (e.g. perl-based xm-tool)
	  add prefix-defaults section
2001-03-08 - <guidod@gmx.de>
	* update autoconf-archive.tar.gz for last beta release.
	* update @synopsis entry for each file to ensure upload to pfe.sf.net
	* remove 'make x' - could accidently delete Makefile.am
	* add new target 'doc' for aclocals-doc-x.x.tar.gz
	
2001-03-06 - <guidod@gmx.de>
	* added coldfire cpu to m68k target in create_target_h
2001-03-03 - <guidod@gmx.de>
	* extended create_generic_config a bit
	* sunos-5`tr`('97) does really need [] around the charset-spans,
	  otherwise the minus is treated literally, e.g. a-z A-Z will
	  convert the three chars a,-,z to A,-,Z ... did you know that?
	
2001-03-02 - <guidod@gmx.de>
	* changed most of the stuff as proped by Alexandre Duret-Lutz
	* changed levelnames in ac_cond_with_level, all=7
	* changed versionlevel to have three digits per release part
	    but have minor_version multiplied by ten. The least digit
	    of the minor part is then used to flag development or
	    release version. Version 3.3.4 is therefore 3038004. 
  	    It enables us to patch in a few common idioms.
2001-03-01 - <guidod@gmx.de>
	* new files: ac_as_mkdir_p and ac_as_dirname as a backport from
	  2.49 for usage in...
	* ac_echo_mkfile - to create a file with a path before.
	* ac_prefix_config_h_ as a new alternative - use ac_echo_mkfile
	* remove ac_msg.m4 and the reference in anohter file, replace
	  by ac_echo_n
	* remove guidod_creating, obsoleted by ac_echo_mkfile
	* add an uninstall-all - to remove all z-*.m4 files in aclocal
	
2001-02-22 - <guidod@gmx.de>
	* guidod/: remove a few m4 files that no on needs anymore
	* configure.in: add sort, so local-defs can override auto-archive ones
	* need_target: do also set host-definitions
	* prefix_config: don't include config.h by default
	* pfemacros: just kill it, but keep the interesting macros
	  from there in seperate files. Most of these have already been
	  there, so we just need that ac_withnone 
	* ac_withnone: add ac_without_subst in there, which is a lot more
	  useful than the original ac_withnone defun
