    Update to 2.67:

    * Major changes in Autoconf 2.67 (2010-07-21) [stable]
      Released by Eric Blake, based on git versions 2.66.*.

    ** AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS with more than one subdirectory at a time works again.
       Regression introduced in 2.66.

    ** AC_CHECK_SIZEOF of a pointer type works again.  Regression introduced in
       2.66.

    ** New macro AC_FC_LINE_LENGTH to accept long Fortran source code lines.

    ** AC_PREPROC_IFELSE now keeps the preprocessed output in the conftest.i
       file for inspection by the commands in the ACTION-IF-TRUE argument.

    ** AC_INIT again allows parentheses and other characters that are literal
       in single- or double-quoted strings, and in quoted and unquoted
       here-documents, for its PACKAGE and VERSION arguments.  Regression
       introduced in 2.66.

    ** autoreconf passes warning flags to new enough versions of aclocal.

    ** Running an Autotest testsuite in parallel mode no longer triggers a
       race condition that could cause the testsuite run to end early,
       fixing a sporadic failure in autoconf's own testsuite.  Bug present
       since introduction of parallel tests in 2.63b.

    * Major changes in Autoconf 2.66 (2010-07-02) [stable]
      Released by Eric Blake, based on git versions 2.65.*.

    ** AC_FUNC_MMAP works in C++ mode again.  Regression introduced in 2.65.

    ** Use of m4_divert without a named diversion now issues a syntax warning,
       since it is seldom right to change diversions behind autoconf's back.

    ** The macros AC_TYPE_INT8_T, AC_TYPE_INT16_T, AC_TYPE_INT32_T, and
       AC_TYPE_INT64_T work again.  Regression introduced in 2.65.

    ** AC_PROG_INSTALL correctly uses `shtool' again.  Regression introduced
       in 2.64.

    ** Autoconf should work on EBCDIC hosts.

    ** AC_CHECK_DECL and AC_CHECK_DECLS accept optional function argument types
       for overloaded C++ functions.

    ** AS_SET_CATFILE accepts nonliterals in its variable name argument now.

    ** Autotest testsuites accept an option --recheck to rerun tests that
       failed or passed unexpectedly during the last non-debug testsuite run.

    ** AC_ARG_ENABLE and AC_ARG_WITH now also accept `+' signs in `--enable-*'
       and `--with-*' arguments, converting them to underscores for the variable
       names.

    ** In configure scripts, loading CONFIG_SITE no longer searches PATH,
       and problems in loading the configuration site files are diagnosed.

    ** Autotest testsuites may optionally provide colored test results.

    ** The previously undocumented Autotest macros AT_ARG_OPTION and
       AT_ARG_OPTION_ARG have seen bug fixes and are documented now.
       AT_ARG_OPTION has been changed in that the negative of a long option
       --OPTION is now --no-OPTION rather than --noOPTION.

    ** The macro AS_LITERAL_IF is slightly more conservative; text
       containing shell quotes are no longer treated as literals.
       Furthermore, a new macro, AS_LITERAL_WORD_IF, adds an additional
       level of checking that no whitespace occurs in literals.

    ** The macros AS_TR_SH and AS_TR_CPP no longer expand their results.

    ** The following macros are now documented:
       AS_BOX

    ** New macro AC_FC_FIXEDFORM to accept fixed-form Fortran.
