# SYNOPSIS
#
#   AX_CONFIGURE_ARGS
#
# DESCRIPTION
#
#   Helper macro for AX_ENABLE_BUILDDIR.
#
#   The traditional way of starting a subdir-configure is running the script
#   with ${1+"$@"} but since autoconf 2.60 this is broken. Instead we have
#   to rely on eval'ing $ac_configure_args however some old autoconf
#   versions do not provide that. To ensure maximum portability of autoconf
#   extension macros this helper can be AC_REQUIRE'd so that
#   $ac_configure_args will alsways be present.
#
#   Sadly, the traditional "exec $SHELL" of the enable_builddir macros is
#   spoiled now and must be replaced by "eval + exit $?".
#
#   Example:
#
#     AC_DEFUN([AX_ENABLE_SUBDIR],[dnl
#       AC_REQUIRE([AX_CONFIGURE_ARGS])dnl
#       eval $SHELL $ac_configure_args || exit $?
#       ...])
