Autoconf is an extensible package of m4 macros that creates a
non-interactive configuration script for a package from a template
file.  The template file lists the operating system features that the
package can use, in the form of m4 macro calls, and can also contain
arbitrary shell commands.  Autoconf requires GNU m4.

Autoconf-generated configure scripts are being used by many GNU
packages currently, and will be used by more in the future.

Major changes in release 1.1:
Added AC_STRCOLL macro.
Made AC_GETLOADAVG check for more things.
AC_OUTPUT argument is now optional.
Various bug fixes.
