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. See section Macro Names, for a description of the new naming scheme.
