Can't speak for Justin of course, but recent Autoconf itself defines lots of functions inside macros. Or, let's say, it causes shell functions to be emitted "somewhere" in the configure script, to make it smaller and more efficient than it could be without them. While maintaining the user API from before shell functions were used. OTOH, maybe Justin was only looking at the positional parameters of configure. In which case this applies: http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/faq/autotools-faq.html#How-do-I-save_002fmodify-the-arguments-to-configure_003f Cheers, Ralf _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
