Hello!

Sorry that I didn't followed closely the discussion in autoconf-patches,
but the current state of AC_MSG_ macros is not good enough for the
release.

AC_MSG_RESULT_UNQUOTED is not documented despite being there since
1999-09-15. To be honest, it's purpose is not clear to me. Maybe it should
become internal (i.e. _AC_MSG_RESULT_UNQUOTED)?

AC_CHECKING still doesn't work as advertized despite the fact that there
is a patch. IMHO it should be undeprecated and fixed as suggested in
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/autoconf-patches/2000-07/msg00010.html

Writing better macros (AC_MSG_SECTION, AC_MSG_HUGE_BOLD_BANNER etc) could
be left for the next release.

Regards,
Pavel Roskin
