[PATCH] {master} am: do not quote `like this', as per GCS recommendation


From: Stefano Lattarini
Subject: [PATCH] {master} am: do not quote `like this', as per GCS recommendation
Date: Thu, 23 Feb 2012 15:17:51 +0100

This patch converts the automake-provided '*.am' fragments, and
related files, to the use of new quoting format 'like this' or
"like this" rather than `like this'.

This is done for consistency with the new recommendations in the GNU
Coding Standards, and, well, because I've come to actually like the
'...' and "..." quoting format over the `...' one.

* lib/am/check.am: Update quoting format throughout, in comments
and diagnostic.  Some related rewordings, reformatting, and removal
of redundant commands since we are at it.
* lib/am/configure.am: Likewise.
* lib/am/dejagnu.am: Likewise.
* lib/am/depend2.am: Likewise.
* lib/am/distdir.am: Likewise.
* lib/am/inst-vars.am: Likewise.
* lib/am/install.am: Likewise.
* lib/am/lang-compile.am: Likewise.
* lib/am/lisp.am: Likewise.
* lib/am/ltlib.am: Likewise.
* lib/am/mans.am: Likewise.
* lib/am/progs.am: Likewise.
* lib/am/remake-hdr.am: Likewise.
