Dear Autoconf users,
this mail is going to the autoconf mailing list for the benefit of all
readers. An additional blind carbon copy has been sent to all authors
of macros contained in the archive that were affected by the change.
It has been recommended to enforce the macro name in all definitions
to be quoted:
AC_DEFUN([XYZ_MACRO_NAME], [...])
rather than:
AC_DEFUN(XYZ_MACRO_NAME, [...])
as most macros looked. The rationale behind that is that an unquoted
definition will cause desaster in case the macro definition is
included multiple times in a "configure.in" file.
I have changed all macros contained in the archive to conform with
that. I am optimistic that nothing broke during my changes, but I
would appreciate if the authors of the respective macros could take a
look at the new versions to confirm that everything is in order.
