Autoupdate still not working right

Hello!

Run this:

TMPDIR=. autoupdate --debug /dev/null
echo AC_INIT >configure.in
grep -v ^_ au*/au.txt >>configure.in
autoupdate

The result is truly scary. There are two AC_INIT's, four AC_DIAGNOSE's,
one AC_REQUIRE outside macro definition, even one AC_C_CROSS!

Macros that don't require argument are called with one empty argument here
and there.

The worst thing - autoupdate replaces configure.in, as opposed to autoscan
that creates autoconf.scan. This means that autoconf pretends to do the
right thing without user intervention.

I'm not an expert in everything. It takes time to fix other people's code.  
If you ever wrote an AU_DEFUN or AU_ALIAS, please make sure that your
AU_DEFUN or AU_ALIAS does the right thing.

Regards,
Pavel Roskin
