It must have been late when I wrote that - I was obviously wrong about the two having different semantics, since autoconf/general.m4 simply does m4_copy([AS_ERROR], [AC_MSG_ERROR]). There is still the issue of whether we should document m4sh macros for standalone use in other scripts, but recommend the AC_MSG variants when writing configure scripts, but without more consensus, this patch is not ready for primetime yet. > 2006-04-06 Eric Blake <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > * doc/autoconf.text (Programming in M4sh): Slightly weaken the > disclaimer about using m4sh.
