Other people benefit from this clear layering. When another user use `autom4te --lang=M4sh' to generate shell scripts that are not configure scripts, it matters that AS_* and m4_* are not Autoconf macros, and that m4_forearch is available. Likewise when you use `autom4te --lang=M4sugar' to process any kind of input with M4+convenient macros like m4_foreach. -- Alexandre Duret-Lutz _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
