476 ac_max_here_lines here from AC_OUTPUT_HEADER.
477
478 * autoheader.sh: Take the multiple-include protection back out.
479 It's not needed for a file that just #defines stuff, and, as Ken
480 Raeburn pointed out in Apr 1994:
481 Since you don't make it optional, and you don't give the writer of
482 configure.in much control over the name of the symbol, it also would
483 prevent one "config.h" file in a subdirectory from including

599 Check for more system-dependent libs.
600 From Karl Berry.

835
836 * acgeneral.m4: When creating config.status, start a new
