comparison functions to always use POSIX strcasecmp(). For non-POSIX
systems that use other functions (strcmpi or stricmp) use a macro to alias
strcasecmp to those. If we can't find any of them (VMS, plus whatever
UNIX doesn't have them) then define our own version in misc.c.

Plus some from the mailing list.
Imported a patch from Eli to allow Cygwin builds to support DOS-style
pathnames.
- Add more warnings.
- Rename variables that mask out-scope vars with the same name.
- Remove all casts of return values from xmalloc, xrealloc, and alloca.
- Remove casts of the first argument to xrealloc.
- Convert all bcopy/bzero/bcmp invocations to use memcp/memmove/memset/memcmp.
Update NEWS docs.
Enhance the manual to use automake version.texi, and use the canonical
FSF copyright features and statement.
Some $(realpath ...) tests won't work on Windows; leave them out
The jobserver filedescriptor test might fail if some FDs are reserved,
so for now comment out that check.
Revert a fix for $? including non-existent files as it shows a bug
in the Linux kernel build. Give them a release to fix this.
Add some changes from Eli Z. for Windows changes.
check for this and exit with an error.
The closeout.c version from gnulib pulls in too much other stuff, and
gnulib requires an ANSI C 89 compliant compiler, while GNU make (so far)
still wants to work on K&R.
* New function: $(info ...)
* Disallow $(eval ...) to create prereq relationships inside command scripts
(caused core dumps)
* Try to allow more tests to succeed in Windows/DOS by sanitizing CRLF and \
* Various bug fixes and code cleanups (see the ChangeLog entry)
- Apply a fix for the "thundering herd" problem when using "-j -l".
This also fixes bug #4693.
- Fix bug #7257: allow functions as ifdef arguments
- Fix bug #4518: make sure we print all double-colon rules with -p.
- Upgrade to autconf 2.58/automake 1.8/gettext 0.13.1
- Various doc cleanups, etc.
Fixed problems with the dist target (adding missing files).
Workaround for a bug in gettext 0.12.1 po/Makefile.in.in where distclean
wasn't cleaning everything, which caused distcheck to fail.
Implement a fix for bug # 2169: too many OSs, even major OSs like Solaris,
don't properly implement SA_RESTART: important system calls like stat() can
still fail when SA_RESTART is set. So, forget the BROKEN_RESTART config
check and get rid of atomic_stat() and atomic_readdir(), and implement
permanent wrappers for EINTR checking on various system calls (stat(),
fstat(), opendir(), and readdir() so far).
enable the automake ansi2knr capability.
Right now this doesn't quite build using a K&R compiler because of a
problem with the loadavg test program, but the rest of the code works. I'm
asking the automake list about this problem.
New version of the manual, put into the doc subdir.
Enhancements: $(eval ...) and $(value ...) functions, various bug
fixes, etc. See the ChangeLog.
More to come.
properly.
Fix configure: allow cross-compilation; fix getloadavg (still needs _lots_
of work!)
Let $(call ...) functions to be self-referencing. Lets us do transitive
closures, for example.
