Another approach would be to change autoreconf to just remove any filename part - that's easy to explain to the user (the top-level directory or any file in it) and also easy to implement (simply s,[^/\\]*$,, on that argument.)

Well, the point is that autoreconf subdir/foobar.ac simply won't cause the called tools to use foobar.ac, but the first that exists in the list subdir/configure.ac subdir/configure.in The file name you pass currently is stripped off as you suggest, but since it won't be used, I think that it is confusing to document this unless it is actually used.

My thought was that it is sometimes convenient to be able to do something like: for f in `find . -name configure.ac -print` ; do autoreconf $f ; done But it's not a big deal - it's not hard for the user to chop the leaf themselves in the case above, and as you say it's a bit odd to accept a filename to indicate just a directory.
