70 GNU Autoconf is an extensible package of M4 macros that produce
71 shell scripts to automatically configure software source code
72 packages. These scripts can adapt the packages to many kinds of
73 UNIX-like systems without manual user intervention. Autoconf
74 creates a configuration script for a package from a template
75 file that lists the operating system features that the package
76 can use, in the form of M4 macro calls.
