Hi!
Sometimes, you'd like the ability to insert comments at the top of
`configure'. The following patch implements this with a new diversion and a
new macro, AC_COMMENT.
BTW, I noticed that AC_PACKAGE is not documented. Is it intentional ?
2000-05-05 Didier Verna <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* acgeneral.m4 (COMMENT): new diversion.
(AC_COMMENT): new macro (add comments at the top of `configure').
* doc/autoconf.texi (Notices): document it.
