Re: problem with ifelse

Hey,

thanks for all the typo. Unfortunately, we want to support old versions of 
the autotools, so i will have to check that the m4 macro are not too 
recent.

For me, ifelse([$2], [no], [part1], [part2]) executes part1 if $2 is the 
same than the string "no", and executes part2 otherwise. But whatever the 
value of $2 is (in my cases, $2 is "yes" or "no", it is always part2 that 
is executed.
