_AC_PROG_CXX_EXIT_DECLARATION problem

[David Thompson]

Since this function has been modified at version 1.179, it now breaks 
our configure process on Windows with Microsoft compilers. The 
problem is, that the appropriate configuration is just #include 
<stdlib.h> with no prototype. This option for the test was removed so 
it never completes correctly. The tests that run in order on cygwin 
are

test without stdlib and no prototype
test with stdlib and prototype extern "C" void std::exit (int) 
throw(); using std::exit;
...

For some reason, the case where stdlib and no prototype never runs 
(at least we never see it in the config.log.)

Could this be a problem with bash or is there an error in the write 
of this function?

If I convert the function back to have one of the tests to be 
#include <stdlib.h>, functionality returns.
