# SYNOPSIS
#
#   AX_SUBDIRS_CONFIGURE( [subdirs], [mandatory arguments], [possibly merged arguments], [replacement arguments], [forbidden arguments])
#
# DESCRIPTION
#
#   AX_SUBDIRS_CONFIGURE attempts to be the equivalent of AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS
#   with customizable options for configure scripts.
#
#   Run the configure script for each directory from the comma-separated m4
#   list 'subdirs'. This macro can be used multiple times. All arguments of
#   this macro must be comma-separated lists.
#
#   All command line arguments from the parent configure script will be
#   given to the subdirectory configure script after the following
#   modifications (in that order):
#
#   1. The arguments from the 'mandatory arguments' list shall always be
#   appended to the argument list.
#
#   2. The arguments from the 'possibly merged arguments' list shall be
#   added if not present in the arguments of the parent configure script or
#   merged with the existing argument otherwise.
#
#   3. The arguments from the 'replacement arguments' list shall be added if
#   not present in the arguments of the parent configure script or replace
#   the existing argument otherwise.
#
#   4. The arguments from the 'forbidden arguments' list shall always be
#   removed from the argument list.
#
#   The lists 'mandatory arguments' and 'forbidden arguments' can hold any
#   kind of argument. The 'possibly merged arguments' and 'replacement
#   arguments' expect their arguments to be of the form --option-name=value.
#
#   This macro aims to remain as close as possible to the AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS
#   macro. It corrects the paths for '--srcdir' and adds
#   '--disable-option-checking' and '--silent' if necessary. However, it
#   does not change the '--cache-file' argument: typically, configure
#   scripts run with different arguments will not be able to share the same
#   cache. If you wish to share a single cache, you should give an absolute
#   path to '--cache-file'.
#
#   This macro also sets the output variable subdirs_extra to the list of
#   directories recorded with AX_SUBDIRS_CONFIGURE. This variable can be
#   used in Makefile rules or substituted in configured files.
#
#   This macro shall do nothing more than managing the arguments of the
#   configure script. Just like when using AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS, it is up to
#   the user to check any requirements or define and substitute any required
#   variable for the remainder of the project.
#
#   Configure scripts recorded with AX_SUBDIRS_CONFIGURE may be executed
#   before configure scripts recorded with AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS.
#
#   Without additional arguments, the behaviour of AX_SUBDIRS_CONFIGURE
#   should be identical to the behaviour of AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS, apart from
#   the contents of the variables subdirs and subdirs_extra (except that
#   AX_SUBDIRS_CONFIGURE expects a comma-separated m4 list):
#
#     AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS([something])
#     AX_SUBDIRS_CONFIGURE([something])
#
#   This macro may be called multiple times.
#
#   Usage example:
#
#   Let us assume our project has 4 dependencies, namely A, B, C and D. Here
#   are some characteristics of our project and its dependencies:
#
#   - A does not require any special option.
#
#   - we want to build B with an optional feature which can be enabled with
#   its configure script's option '--enable-special-feature'.
#
#   - B's configure script is strange and has an option '--with-B=build'.
#   After close inspection of its documentation, we don't want B to receive
#   this option.
#
#   - C and D both need B.
#
#   - Just like our project, C and D can build B themselves with the option
#   '--with-B=build'.
#
#   - We want C and D to use the B we build instead of building it
#   themselves.
#
#   Our top-level configure script will be called as follows:
#
#     $ <path/to/configure> --with-A=build --with-B=build --with-C=build \
#       --with-D=build --some-option
#
#   Thus we have to make sure that:
#
#   - neither B, C or D receive the option '--with-B=build'
#
#   - C and D know where to find the headers and libraries of B.
#
#   Under those conditions, we can use the AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS macro for A,
#   but need to use AX_SUBDIRS_CONFIGURE for B, C and D:
#
#   - B must receive '--enable-special-feature' but cannot receive
#   '--with-B=build'
#
#   - C and D cannot receive '--with-B=build' (or else it would be built
#   thrice) and need to be told where to find B (since we are building it,
#   it would probably not be available in standard paths).
#
#   Here is a configure.ac snippet that solves our problem:
#
#     AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS([dependencies/A])
#     AX_SUBDIRS_CONFIGURE(
#         [dependencies/B], [--enable-special-feature], [], [],
#         [--with-B=build])
#     AX_SUBDIRS_CONFIGURE(
#         [[dependencies/C],[dependencies/D]],
#         [],
#         [[CPPFLAGS=-I${ac_top_srcdir}/dependencies/B -I${ac_top_builddir}/dependencies/B],
#          [LDFLAGS=-L${ac_abs_top_builddir}/dependencies/B/.libs]],
#         [--with-B=system],
#         [])
#
#   If using automake, the following can be added to the Makefile.am (we use
#   both $(subdirs) and $(subdirs_extra) since our example above used both
#   AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS and AX_SUBDIRS_CONFIGURE):
#
#     SUBDIRS = $(subdirs) $(subdirs_extra)
