| Hi!
|
| This patch makes autoconf prefer configure.gnu over configure when
| configuring subdirectories; this is usefull if these subdirectories also
| contain packages not using autoconf.
|
| This patch originates from the GeekGadgets project
| (http://www.ninemoons.com/GG/).
I don't understand this `configure.gnu' stuff. Why is not named
configure? This name is not reserved to Autoconf.
I'm not convinced Autoconf should be adjusted to this kind of
extensions.

Your ChangeLog seems wrong.

This is wrong: you should update the --help recursion too.
