Follow-up Comment #3, sr #107986 (project autoconf):
Oh, a quick note about the attached patch to require AC_INIT - this patch will
currently cause "make check" in autoconf to fail, because some of the autoconf
test cases don't call AC_INIT either :-(.
Possible solutions include:
1. Fix all the tests so that they use AC_INIT
2. Create an option flag meaning "do not require AC_INIT", and change those
tests to use it
3. Make omitting AC_INIT a warning, not an error.
All the above would *work*. Turning the omission of AC_INIT into a warning
might be the easiest upward-compatible approach. However, which one is most
acceptable to the autoconf developers?
