[Gfs-devel] configure.ac

[Geordie McBain]

Hello. I noticed in the NEWS file of Automake

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/automake.git/tree/NEWS

that (lines 172--174):

- Future versions of Automake will likely drop support for the
long-deprecated 'configure.in' name for the Autoconf input file.
You are advised to use the recommended name 'configure.ac' instead.

So "darcs move configure.{in,ac}" might be order.
Also then the first lines would then need to be changed to
AC_INIT(configure.ac), and I see that there are several references to
configure.in in the autogen.sh scripts. I'm not too sure what these
are for (or to what extent they're redundant with respect to the use
of autoreconf), but

$ darcs replace configure.{in,ac,ac} autogen.sh

seems to work O.K.

The above applies to gts, gerris, and gfsview.
