Re: Replace AC_FOREACH by m4_foreach_w

[Stepan Kasal]

Hello,
  returning to the patch from May.

I committed a variation of the patch, please find it attached to this mail.

I did the following:
1- declared AC_FOREACH obsolete
2- tried to eliminate some occurences
3- replaced the remaining by m4_foreach_w, which is the same as AC_FOREACH,
   but defines in m4sugar.m4

ad 2:  I hadn't much success with eliminating.  Some occurences are tied to
user interface, as in AC_CHECK_FUNCS.  Then there are occurences working with
AC_LIST_* macros; converting these would require too much work.

ad 3:  We can rename the macro or expand all its occurences later.
In any case, I think the patch is going in a good direction.

Have a nice day,
        Stepan
