Replying to Bruce:
I very much like the idea of having all kinds of magic around
to paper over the gaps (chasms?) some systems have with respect
to POSIX interfaces. I think this is a start down a libiberty
type road.
Actually I don't like what libiberty has become. Why should I distribute

answer, I'll try to paraphrase it]
Hello,
I am compiling a C++ program (LyX) with compaq cxx 6.2 in strict ansi
mode. It happens that no C functions are found by autoconf 2.52
AC_CHECK_FUNC macro, because the program bug1.C
If a configure option of --without-included-gettext is specified will this
make any difference to whether the intl directory is processed? From my
observation it doesn't, so is there any way to prevent it?

Surely the output file should be removed before the test is run; it
should also be removed if config.status is run.
I think it would suffice to remove it in config.status and in make
distclean.
No, because
So AC_HEADER_STDBOOL should remove any preexisting stdbool.h before
doing any tests that depend on stdbool.h.
Fixed.
I don't see why this would be needed. `make distclean' can just
remove stdbool.h unconditionally.
Right.
Can't you use ac_cv_header_stdbool_h for this purpose?

I agree, with arguments about project focus and project bulk
