Just brainstorming:
m4_define([AS_STDIN_FD], 7)
exec AS_STDIN_FD<&0 </dev/null
and then let people who want to read stdin explicitly state so
with
read whatever <&AS_STDIN_FD
Interactive input is so much non-autoconf that I feel sad about
waiting for someone else to hit a "missing </dev/null" bug to
fix it. I don't know why net-snmp does this, so I wouldn't dare
claiming it should not. But somehow it's sounds like all other
packages are paying for this, and that sounds wrong. If it
works to provide an access to the original stdin as above, then
is seems like a fair fee that singular setups can afford.
