I noticed that the Autoconf documentation and comments weren't
consistent on "runtime" versus "run-time" versus "run time", so
I standardized on "runtime" as follows:
2006-04-23 Paul Eggert <address@hidden>
* doc/autoconf.texi (Runtime): Renamed from "Run Time". All uses
of "run time" and "run-time" changed to "runtime", for consistency.
* lib/autoconf/fortran.m4: Likewise (in comment).
* lib/autoconf/functions.m4: Likewise.
* lib/autoconf/general.m4: Likewise.
* lib/autoconf/headers.m4: Likewise.
