Hi Rainer,
Sorry for the long delay. Anyway:

Right. It likely gets massaged by a shell script somewhere.
Line 88 of check.tpl:
88 cat >> [= (raw-shell-str (if (exist? "files") (get "files[0]")
"testing.h"))
89 =] <<_HACK_EOF_
90
91
92 #if defined( [=(. HACK)=]_CHECK )
93 [=test_text=]
94 #endif /* [=(. HACK)=]_CHECK */
95 _HACK_EOF_
By quoting the "_HACK_EOF_" delimiter on line 89, the shell will not
try to process the "test_text".
This is certainly something that needs to be decided: if we go this
route, we should bump the autogen version requirement in install.texi
(to whatever is necessary to support the TAB\ magic).
I think Debian stable has moved up to 5.18.2, if I am remembering
correctly. It's a year old (last fall). I think that is old enough to
have been spread around by now.
It's your call ultimately.
OK, let's bump the defined requirement to something (almost) in this decade,
even if (for the moment) we don't use the TAB\ magic:
rel5.9.8/ 16-May-2009
