We're overdue for a new release, so here's a snapshot in preparation
for that, which I want to call 2.73 (skipping 2.72).  There has never
been an autoconf-2.72 release, yet `git describe` now prints 2.72c and
has been printing strings like v2.72a-92-g8db00aa8 for years.

If you maintain a package that uses autoconf and can make a release soon,
please install this and use it to bootstrap its configs.  We'd love to
expose any issues before we make the release.  I've already done that
with grep-3.10, so far without incident.

Thanks to the many people who have contributed over the years, especially
to Paul Eggert and Zack Weinberg, who have done a disproportionate amount
of the work.

Work for log4cplus.

Curious amounts of things getting wrapped in case/esac but I am assuming that's intentional. E.g.:

-else \$as_nop
-  exitcode=1; echo positional parameters were not saved.
+else case e in #(
+  e) exitcode=1; echo positional parameters were not saved. ;;
+esac
