+dnl OUTPUT_LONG_LIST(LIST, TEMPFILE, [SEDSCRIPT])
+dnl ---------------------------------------------
+dnl Output LIST, which may be longer than the command line length,
+dnl one item per line.  LIST should be a whitespace-separates list.
+dnl Leading, trailing, and multiple spaces will be removed.
+dnl Optional post-processing may be done with SEDSCRIPT.
+dnl This macro may need to use TEMPFILE as a temporary scratch space.
+dnl The output is on STDOUT by default and may be redirected.
+dnl May be used within backquotes, but not double-quoted backquotes.
+dnl This macro is fast with a builtin $ECHO and/or a short list.
