Set CONFIG_SHELL in env so always use /bin/sh. This way results are at least (closer to) deterministic.

1. Bumped portrevision (yes, again, sorry for the thrash). 2. Fixed bug that Knu pointed out, which was the bad dirs were captured    in bsd.port.mk (to be fixed RSN, in testing now). Fixed with the magic    of ... symlinks! (I always thought symlinks to . were lame, and they are,    but sometimes they can get you out of a corner. Temporarily.) 3. The question is, will anything break trying to rec

Bottom line is, AUTOCONF_DIR, AUTOMAKE_DIR, & ACLOCAL_DIR work again.
As a side effect of this fix, you can now download the entire internet
onto 1 floppy disk.

Portrevision => 3. Put the damn support files in the right place. Modifying $(datadir) was not the right way to do it. I knew there was something about this port that bugged me. I am content now. Love is all you need. Give peace a chance.

Renamed patch files so I can tell what they do. Changed $(INSTALL) to $(INSTALL_SCRIPT) in Makefile.in for the scripts.

Due to popular demant into each port which might be inserted into dependency list by bsd.port.mk insert anti foot-shooting device, which prevents infinite fork loop when the user defines corresponding USE_XXX in global make.conf, command line or environment.

Similar devices should probably be inserted into ports that might be inserted
into dependency list by others bsd.foo.mk files (bsd.ruby.mk, bsd.python.mk
and so on.)

Stage a mini-coup, and borrow these ports from portmgr@ for a while, since I'm doing most of the updating, and am working on a port/Mk/bsd.<gnublah>.mk to move some cruft around.

This was repo copied from the 'autoconf' port to give us a legacy version.  autoconf213 can live beside the latest 'autoconf', and is invoked specifically as 'autoconf213'.

Upgrade to the Cygnus "000227" (27-Feb-2000) version.  This is a later version than 2.13.

I could find no ports that broke with this update.

Finally nail the nasty autoconf habit of leaving ${TMPDIR}/acin.* turds lying around in certain circumstances.

Steve Price (steve) · 2.13 · as devel/autoconf213
m4(1) was stripping the [] to leave *.Cc in my previous fix and this was causing problems with a few ports determining that .c was the suffix for executables.  The fix is to expand it to '*.c | *.C' so that m4(1) doesn't try to outsmart us.

Teach autoconf about .C files so that it doesn't inadvertently think .C is the extension for executables.

Use RUN_DEPENDS instead of EXEC_DEPENDS, as it is not (technicall) necessary to have /usr/local/bin/gm4 just to build this port.

However, the configure script would find /usr/bin/m4 if /usr/local/bin/gm4
isn't there, so tell it to use tha latter via CONFIGURE_ENV.
