Re: [Fwd: autoreconf and aclocal options (-I, --ac-dir)]

Hello Chris,
  [this answer goes to autoconf-patches]

I did s/^on// on the following:

you explained:

I undersood the other two cases.  But I was confused by the fact that "on"
doesn't immediately follow "pass" in this case.

I reverted my change now.  Sorry for the fuss.

Have a nice day,
