49 GNU Autoconf is an extensible package of M4 macros that produce
50 shell scripts to automatically configure software source code
51 packages. These scripts can adapt the packages to many kinds of
52 UNIX-like systems without manual user intervention. Autoconf
53 creates a configuration script for a package from a template
54 file that lists the operating system features that the package
55 can use, in the form of M4 macro calls.
