I'm trying to understand the motivation for renaming configure.in to configure.ac. If I remember correctly it was related to the fact that ./config.status or whoever else processes .in files.
IMHO, the only real reason to rename configure.in to configure.ac is, that some future Autoconf version may cease to accept the 'bugward' compatible old name. Everything else is philosophy/ideology. Regards Peter Breitenlohner <address@hidden>
