Hi all,
Some comments:
* Licenses: I see files with shortened license forms (Licensed under the terms
of the GNU General Public License). We should change them to the longer ones
probably. We should add licenses where missing too.
* dist-xz: Is it really necessary ? I still find systems without xz support
yet ...
Patches (I will push those agreed):
* 0001: COPYING is not in .gitignore, Is it deliberately on the way ?
* 0003: Some bugs introduced while cutting down my external code to suit our
needs have been removed. The 'required' variable is now split
into 'should_have' and 'must_have' in order to give more flexibility to
tests. The Makefile is still in the most-portable form, it will be tweaked
and rearranged later. I've added some tests (initial work). They should run
stright out of the box even if some of them require further work. Let's see
if that mess suits our needs. *This patch applies over the previous one*.
* 0002: For ax_with_prog.m4:
* Excessive quoting introduced in the latest changeset: Fixed
* Portability problem introduced in the latest changeset: Fixed
NOTE: The `-a', `-o', `(', and `)' operands for 'test' are not portable and
should be avoided.

ac_prompt_user_no_define.m4 is marked obsolete thus it doesn't worth the
change. Applying the same concept to all the others ... it should be better
to look && mark for obsolescence first and mass-fix later on maybe (I'll
provide the fixes later).
