quoting @ac_subst@ keywords

2000-06-27 Thread Lars J. Aas
I'm setting up my own sed-parse rule in a Makefile.in file, that should do sustitutions the way config.status does, based on some AC_SUBST keywords. Obviously, I need to be able to quote the search string, so the @ac_subst@ keyword is "intact" in the target Makefile. How do I do that? e.g. se

This patch is based on what I did for an autoconf freeze 2000-01-13, and acgeneral.m4 had changed somewhat since then. Hopefully I added the code at the correct positions ;) Patch only tested for the 2000-01-13 autoconf (but I'm fairly sure the changes are the same). I don't know the policy on
