After that fix, we could also remove the AS_LITERAL_IF with m4_fatal.
I'm not sure what you were referring to here so I've attached a patch to
document AS_LITERAL_IF as you requested a few days ago. I will commit
it in a few days if there are no objections. It looks

I'll see about it after I get comments on the first round back.

Yes, AS_TR_SH AS_TR_CPP appear to be undocumented. I've submitted a
patch to autoconf-patches to remedy this and will commit it within a few

You are right. I have to start by documenting AS_TR_SH, AS_TR_CPP,
AS_LITERAL_IF and m4_fatal. Then I can resubmit the patch.
AC_TRY_COMPILE is shorter and more mnemonic

Thanks. A couple more things. (Sorry I didn't catch it earlier.)
First, the $gl_* variables should be cached, with AC_CACHE_CHECK.
Second, suppose limits.h and sys/param.h have conflicting
definitions of MIN and MAX? To work

This doesn't work if limits.h and sys/param.h both define MIN.
Hrm. Okay, I've fixed this, though I think such a
