configure.in vs. configure.ac (Re: RFA: Add Epiphany newlib & libgloss port)


Quoting Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>:

Using the "configure.in" name rather than "configure.ac" is really
anachronistic.  Better to switch to the latter (it's been 10 years),
if only to avoid making people wonder which version of autoconf you require.
It will probably avoid some warnings, too, for those who enable them.

All the autoconf template files in newlib and libgloss are named configure.in .
If I add a port with confiure.ac, it'll be the odd one out.
