#
# Usage:
#   [VAR=<value>] ./autogen.sh [<configure-args>]
#
# This script generates the ./configure script using GNU automake and
# GNU autoconf. It tries to be smart in finding the correct/usable/available
# installed versions of these tools on your system.
#
# The following strategy is used for each of aclocal, autoheader, automake,
# and autoconf: first, "tool" (the regular name of the tool, e. g. "autoconf"
# or "automake") is checked. If this fails, "tool<major><minor>" (for example
# "automake16") and "tool-<major>.<minor>" (e. g. "autoconf-2.54") are tried
# with <major> being 2 for tool of GNU autoconf and 1 for tools of automake;
# <minor> is tried from 99 to 0. The first occurrence will be used.
#
# When you pass <configure-args> to autogen.sh it will call the generated
# ./configure script on success and pass these parameters to it.
#
# You can tweak the behaviour using these environment variables:
#
# - ACLOCAL=<cmd>, AUTOHEADER=<cmd>, AUTOMAKE=<cmd>, AUTOCONF=<cmd>
#   Name and optionally path to the particular tool.
# - PREFIX=<path>
#   Search the GNU autoconf and GNU automake tools in <path> first. If the
#   generated ./configure script will be called, pass "--prefix=<path>" to it.
# - EXIST=<tool>
#   Use <tool> to test for aclocal, autoheader etc. pp. ...
#   When not specified, either "type" or "which" is used.
# - VERBOSE=1
#   Output the detected names of the GNU automake and GNU autoconf tools.
# - GO=1
#   Call ./configure even if no arguments have been passed to autogen.sh.
#
# Examples:
#
# - ./autogen.sh
#   Generates the ./configure script.
# - GO=1 ./autogen.sh
#   Generates the ./configure script and runs it as "./configure".
# - VERBOSE=1 ./autogen.sh --with-ident
#   Show tool names, generates the ./configure script, and runs it with
#   these arguments: "./configure --with-ident".
# - ACLOCAL=aclocal-1.6 GO=1 PREFIX=$HOME ./autogen.sh
#   Uses "aclocal-1.6" as aclocal tool, generates the ./configure script,
#   and runs it with these arguments: "./configure --prefix=$HOME".
