vala: AM_PROG_VALAC should not produce an error for tool-old valac
This change fixes automake bug#12688.
In the AM_PROG_VALAC macro, when the optional parameter specifying the
minimum release number is not provided, and/or if the Vala compiler is
not found, then there is a _warning_ message.
On the other hand, when the version number is specified and if the Vala
compiler is too old, there is an _error_ message.
This error message is problematic, because for a tarball, the Vala
compiler is not required: the generated C code is included in the
tarball. So if a user wants to compile the software, he shouldn't
need the valac program with the right version.

Admittedly, this was only a theoretical limitation for the moment,
since since so far no test exists that matches two or more conditions
for wrapping. Still, this might change in the future, and easily in
an unnoticed way, so better fix the issue now, before it might become
a real problem.

compile: support libfoo.a naming when wrapping Microsoft tools
There is a future plan to provide some means to have Automake
create static libraries that are named differently depending
on the system [1].
The background is that everyone has always named static libraries
libfoo.a, except the Redmond crowd who names them foo.lib, and
you have to jump through hoops to have Automake create libraries
named foo.lib in the land of non-GNU Windows while still creating
libfoo.a everywhere else.
However, there is probably no sane way to accomplish that system
dependent naming discussed in [1] without user intervention,
which makes it necessary to support the classic libfoo.a naming
when using Microsoft tools in the best possible way, for the
benefit of all projects today and for future projects not
opting in to whatever scheme is selected for the problem at
hand.
[1] http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2012-09/msg00028.html
* lib/compile (func_cl_dashl): As a last resort, match -lfoo with
libfoo.a, if that file exist on the library search path.
* t/compile4.sh: Remove obsolescent workaround for the above.
* t/compile6.sh: Extend to check that libbaz.a is indeed found
when baz.lib and baz.dll.lib does not exist and that bar.lib
and bar.dll.lib are preferred over libbar.a.

config headers: don't emit rules for headers not generated by autoheader
This change fixed automake bug#12495.
Even if an AC_CONFIG_HEADERS invocation is passed a list of several files
as the first argument, only the first one of those file is considered by
autoheader for automatic generation of the corresponding '.in' template.
This is done on purpose, and is clearly documented in the Autoconf manual,
which (as of the 2.69 version) reads something like this:
The autoheader program searches for the first invocation of
AC_CONFIG_HEADERS in configure sources to determine the name of
the template. If the first call of AC_CONFIG_HEADERS specifies
more than one input file name, autoheader uses the first one.
That is, an invocation like:
AC_CONFIG_HEADERS([config.h config2.h])
should cause autoheader to generate only a 'config.h.in' template,
and not also a 'config2.h.in' one.
Accordingly, automake, when tracing AC_CONFIG_HEADERS, should generate
remake rules only for the template associated to the first input file
name passed to that macro. In some situations, however, automake failed
to properly limit itself in this way; for example, with an input like:
AC_CONFIG_HEADERS([config.h sub/foo.h])
in configure.ac, and with the 'sub' directory listed in the SUBDIRS
variable of the top-level Makefile, automake would erroneously generate
in 'sub/Makefile.in' a rule to remake the 'foo.h.in' template by
invoking autoheader.
This issue was likely introduced in commit 'Release-1-8-23-g262bb92'
of 2004-01-05.
* NEWS: Update.
* doc/automake.texi (Optional): Improve wording in the description of
hat rules automake generates in response to an 'AC_CONFIG_HEADERS'
invocation.
* lib/am/remake-hdr.am: Only emit autoheader-invoking remake rules for
the %CONFIG_HIN% template if that corresponds to the first argument of
AC_CONFIG_HEADERS, as explaned above. Do so using the automake-time

runtest: avoid spurious failures on NetBSD
* runtest.in: Use ${1+"$@"} rather than simply "$@", because the 'set -u'
setting used in the script causes the latter to trigger a spurious error
with the NetBSD 5.1 /bin/sh ("./runtest: @: parameter not set") if there
are no arguments to the test.

tests: avoid spurious failure of 't/vala-vapi.sh' on OpenIndiana
* t/vala-vapi.sh: Use 'printf', not 'echo', to print strings containing
substrings like '\n', that can be interpreted like escape strings. That
because the /bin/sh and the /bin/bash shell from OpenIndiana actually
interpret them that way:
$ /bin/sh -c 'echo "foo\nbar"'
foo
bar
$ /bin/bash -c 'echo "foo\nbar"'
foo
bar

tests: avoid spurious failure of 't/uninstall-fail.sh' on OpenIndiana
On current OpenIndiana (based on what once was OpenSolaris 11), the shell
/bin/sh (which, differently from what happens on Solaris, is a true POSIX
shell, thus worthy of consideration) somehow manages to "eat" the
error message from 'rm' when that fails to remove a file due to lacking
permission on the parent directory:
$ /bin/sh -c "cd unwritable-dir || { echo OOPS; exit 1; }; rm -f foo"
$ echo rc = $?
rc = 1
$ /bin/bash -c "cd unwritable-dir || { echo OOPS; exit 1; }; rm -f foo"
rm: foo not removed: Permission denied
$ echo rc = $?
rc = 2
$ /bin/sh -c "cd unwritable-dir || { echo OOPS; exit 1; }; env rm -f foo"
rm: foo not removed: Permission denied
$ echo rc = $?
rc = 2
That is probably due to an improper optimization, that is, the shell tries
to be smart and remove the file itself instead of invoking 'rm', but fails
spectacularly in the attempt.
* t/uninstall-fail.sh: The just-described bug was causing a spurious
failure in this test case. Cater to thus situation, by relaxing the
test when a faulty shell is detected. And while at it, fix and improve
an unrelated comment.

tests: reimplement wrappers for automake and aclocal in perl
This will allow us to avoid one extra shell invocation per automake
and aclocal invocation in our testsuite, and, more importantly, will
allow us not to worry about potential shell portability issues, at
least in those wrappers. For an example of such a portability issue,
refer to the recent commit v1.12.2-80-g65dadf6 "tests: work around a
ksh bug w.r.t. ${1+"$@"}".

tests: work around a ksh bug w.r.t. ${1+"$@"}
Fixes automake bug#10898. See also the older (much older) thread:
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2009-12/msg00036.html>
At least the AT&T and OpenSolaris versions of the Korn shell, as well
as the /bin/sh from OpenIndiana 11, have a strange bug regarding the
expansion of ${1+"$@"}: when exactly *one empty* argument is passed to
a script run by one of this shells, inside that script ${1+"$@"} will
expand to *nothing*, rather than to to the single empty string, as
one would expect (OTOH, $# will correctly expand to 1). This buggy
behaviour was causing a spurious failure in our testsuite (test 6 in
't/automake-cmdline.tap'). Work around it.
