I was reading about Autoconf and found this:
<quote>
Previous versions of Autoconf promoted the name `configure.in', which is somewhat ambiguous (the tool needed to process this file is not described by its extension), and introduces a slight confusion with `config.h.in' and so on (for which `.in' means "to be processed by
configure"). Using `configure.ac' is now
preferred.</quote>

On the other hand in the e-devel archives I found the following which seems to suggest the opposite for "modern" autoconf versions.

I'm thinking I should follow what the autoconf manual says and use configure.ac
Anyone care to comment?
Regards!
