run time, run-time -> runtime


From: Paul Eggert
Subject: run time, run-time -> runtime

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.
