Honestly, if you have a better idea of how to achieve this, feel free
to do so. It is apparent that I am getting fond of achieving stuff
with EMACS_LISP.
Yes. Verily. You do know you are preventing just about anyone else but
you from contributing to the configure stuff?
I've just started wondering if not the "getenv" elisp function
would be usable to transfer information from our configure script
to the emacs macro?
Uh, transferring information from configure to EMACS_LISP works just
fine. That's what the $4 and $5 arguments are for, and they do the
trick, including terrifying quoting characters and spaces.
Well, yes. What I am mainly concerned about is the readability of the code.
The LISPIFY stuff is for transferring directory specifications _out_
again, and in a form appropriate for substituting into *.el files.
Hmmmm. How about a "configure.el", to be used for the auto.el
(tex-site.el) generation? We would gain a configure.el file but it would
simplify aclocal.m4 considerably. Loading auto.el.in, exchanging @foo@
for some string and writing auto.el is simple in elisp. Calling it would
be simply '${EMACS} -batch -l configure.el' and input can be handled via
(getenv "foo").
We could actually be able to do all the emacs-related test in one emacs
run, print configure-style messages on stdout, and write output to auto.el
as well as into a file on the form
---------------
foo="bar baz"
export foo
---------------
to be sourced by the configure script which would set the related variables
in configure, later to be written into Makefile.
Problem is, this change would take somewhat <cough> longer than you'd like
right now, no?
