Re: [Autoconf] Autoupdate is broken.

| Hello!

Hi Pavel, thanks for the bug report, and the fix (which is perfectly
right).

AU_DEFUN is used for two different purposes: firstly as an equivalent
to AC_DEFUN (plus an `obsolete' warning) for backward compatibility,
and secondly, it provides autoupdate with what the old macro call
should be substituted with.

In sake for optimizations, since AU_ALIAS is used only to duplicate a
macro, I used defn, which is fine with autoconf, but not with
autoupdate.

I'm applying your patch.
