[PATCH] build: ship autobuild.m4, to reduce bootstrap requirement

2010-09-20 Thread Eric Blake
Shipping a copy of autobuild.m4 makes it so that users need not
pre-install autobuild just for aclocal to find the macro AB_INIT.

* libltdl/m4/.gitignore: Drop autobuild.m4.
* libltdl/m4/autobuild.m4: New file, copied from autobuild.
* configure.ac (AB_INIT): Unconditionally call it.

 Be sure to *not* list autobuild.m4 anywhere else, e.g., in Makefile.am.
 It is picked up automatically.  You can make the AB_INIT call in
 configure.ac unconditional, but then again, no loss in leaving it as it
 is.

I've tested that 'make dist' does include autobuild.m4.
