AC_C_CHAR_UNSIGNED: The macro is obsolete. Instead of checking
__CHAR_UNSIGNED__, include limits.h and test for CHAR_MIN == 0.
If your autotools maintainer cannot do that, you shall return him for
replacement of defective parts. ;-)
I would be truely aghast if I found that the several people who
independently maintain autotools for my own package were doing this
kind of surgury on it.
Some of the worlds most valuable packages are not longer actively
developed yet they are individually maintained by people who care to
be sufficient (or acceptable according to some standard) for use in
Cygwin, many Linux distributions, *BSD, etc. These sort of
"deprecation" scenarios can lead to silent undetected failure due to
an over-vigilant maintainer who is not prepared to adequately test the
software.
