Problems with bringing mozilla's configury up to date

[Philipp Thomas]

I'm trying to adapt Mozilla's autoconf stuff to current autoconf in order to
be able to make configure regenerable and adaptable. Now mozilla does things
in its own special way.

aclocal.m4:
--------------- cut --------------------

define(MOZ_TOPSRCDIR,.)dnl MOZ_TOPSRCDIR is used in altoptions.m4
builtin(include, build/autoconf/altoptions.m4)dnl

-----------------------------

And the relevant part from altoptions.m4:

---------- cut -------------

dnl MOZ_READ_MYCONFIG() - Read in 'myconfig.sh' file
AC_DEFUN(MOZ_READ_MOZCONFIG,
[AC_REQUIRE([AC_INIT_BINSH])dnl
# Read in '.mozconfig' script to set the initial options.
# See the mozconfig2configure script for more details.
_AUTOCONF_TOOLS_DIR=`dirname [$]0`/[$1]/build/autoconf
. $_AUTOCONF_TOOLS_DIR/mozconfig2configure])

dnl This gets inserted at the top of the configure script
MOZ_READ_MOZCONFIG(MOZ_TOPSRCDIR)

-----------------------------

This all is done to get MOZ_READ_MOZCONFIG expanded at the very top of
configure:

------------- cut --------------
#! /bin/sh

# Read in '.mozconfig' script to set the initial options.
# See the mozconfig2configure script for more details.
_AUTOCONF_TOOLS_DIR=irname $0/./build/autoconf
. $_AUTOCONF_TOOLS_DIR/mozconfig2configure

--------------------------------

As my knowledge of autoconf internals is practically non-existing and I'm
also no m4 hacker, I'd need help in turning the above into something that
aclocal/autoconf groks.
