+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+# AX_CONFIGURE_ARGS
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+# Helper macro for AX_ENABLE_BUILDDIR.
+#
+# The traditional way of starting a subdir-configure is running the script
+# with ${1+"$@"} but since autoconf 2.60 this is broken. Instead we have
+# to rely on eval'ing $ac_configure_args however some old autoconf
+# versions do not provide that. To ensure maximum portability of autoconf
+# extension macros this helper can be AC_REQUIRE'd so that
+# $ac_configure_args will alsways be present.
+#
+# Sadly, the traditional "exec $SHELL" of the enable_builddir macros is
+# spoiled now and must be replaced by "eval + exit $?".
+#
+# Example:
+#
+# AC_DEFUN([AX_ENABLE_SUBDIR],[dnl
+# AC_REQUIRE([AX_CONFIGURE_ARGS])dnl
+# eval $SHELL $ac_configure_args || exit $?
+# ...])
