[sr #107986] autoconf should reject or specifically warn about obviously wrong configure.ac files

[David A. Wheeler]

Follow-up Comment #4, sr #107986 (project autoconf):

Okay, here's a better patch.  This one will warn if someone fails to use
AC_INIT in configure.ac, when you use either autoconf or autoreconf.  It adds
an option flag, in case you want to skip the check.  It also checks the
AC_INIT parameters and warns if they are not normalized.  Finally, some
changes to the test suite to add tests and make them pass.
