+dnl Copyright (C) 2002-2003, 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

+dnl This file defines some "once only" variants of standard autoconf macros.
+dnl AC_CHECK_HEADERS_ONCE like AC_CHECK_HEADERS
+dnl AC_CHECK_FUNCS_ONCE like AC_CHECK_FUNCS
+dnl AC_CHECK_DECLS_ONCE like AC_CHECK_DECLS
+dnl AC_REQUIRE([AC_HEADER_STDC]) like AC_HEADER_STDC
+dnl The advantage is that the check for each of the headers/functions/decls
+dnl will be put only once into the 'configure' file. It keeps the size of
+dnl the 'configure' file down, and avoids redundant output when 'configure'
+dnl is run.
+dnl The drawback is that the checks cannot be conditionalized. If you write
+dnl if some_condition; then gl_CHECK_HEADERS(stdlib.h); fi
+dnl inside an AC_DEFUNed function, the gl_CHECK_HEADERS macro call expands to
+dnl empty, and the check will be inserted before the body of the AC_DEFUNed
+dnl function.
+
+dnl This file is only needed in autoconf <= 2.59. Newer versions of autoconf
+dnl have this macro built-in. But about AC_CHECK_DECLS_ONCE: note that in
+dnl autoconf >= 2.60 the symbol separator is a comma, whereas here it is
+dnl whitespace.
+
+dnl Autoconf version 2.57 or newer is recommended.
