Old Macro Names
***************
   In version 2 of Autoconf, most of the macros were renamed to use a
more uniform and descriptive naming scheme.  Here are the old names of
the macros that were renamed, followed by the current names of those
macros.  Although the old names are still accepted by the `autoconf'
program for backward compatibility, the old names are considered
obsolete.  *Note Macro Names::, for a description of the new naming
scheme.
