prefer using the right includes.

Hi!
Let's raise this question again, I'm really puzzled, and I'd like to
be explained what is going on.
Below is the current AC_TRY_CPP, but other AC_TRY have more or less
the same code. In particular, pay attention to the various `rm
conftest'.

Hmm, I think I stated that I simply don't know enough of autoconf to do it
right, so I preferred to do a minimum patch that exactly shows which
functions

I want to use diverts in some macros, and wonder if there is any
divert management system for reserving/freeing divert numbers in
autoconf (couldn't find any with a quick grep at least). The point
is, if other macros are using diverts too, I don't want my diverts
to clash with those diverts and v

Right, diversions are not that powerful,
I'll investigate further. Most of my experience with autoconf is with Cygwin
and MinGW and I don't remember seeing anything that detailed.

Also, one more item. In AC_OUTPUT_FILES, there is a sed command that should be
reversed
to keep filenames with colons in them (like c:/windows) from being affected. Would
there be any adverse affects to the output if the colon replacement were done first?

Akim, I checked today and found out that there have been updates to the

we can get notified immediately?
Anyway, I ran the same tests on my Solaris 7 box, and only two things failed

I would like to understand why there are three `rm' while one seems
way enough. It seems like the author took a special care to remove
the conftest files before the user can touch them.

Right. DOS can in very rare cases have drive letters outside of [A-Za-z]. So
[A-Za-z] will work 99.99% of the time under DOS and is fine with me
