[Bug-gnulib] FYI: removing lib/realloc.m4

[Jim Meyering]

I just noticed that realloc.m4 now does nothing more
than AC_REQUIRE([AC_FUNC_REALLOC]).
There *is* a no-op gl_PREREQ_REALLOC function, but I doubt
that anyone will be adding new prerequisites for lib/realloc.c.
So I'm about to remove m4/realloc.m4.

2004-03-30  Jim Meyering  <address@hidden>

        * modules/realloc (Files): Remove m4/realloc.m4.
        (configure.ac): Depend on AC_FUNC_REALLOC, rather than jm_FUNC_REALLOC.

        * realloc.m4: Remove file, since now it does no more than
        AC_REQUIRE([AC_FUNC_REALLOC]), and that can be done via
        the `configure.ac' section of module/realloc.
