[*] You can use either of the above signature files to verify that
the corresponding file (without the .sig suffix) is intact.  First,
be sure to download both the .sig file and the corresponding tarball.
Then, run a command like this:

  gpg --verify autoconf-archive-2011.07.17.tar.gz.sig

If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
then run this command to import it:

  gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 99089D72

and rerun the `gpg --verify' command.

This release was bootstrapped with the following tools:
  Autoconf 2.68
  Automake 1.11.1

NEWS

* Noteworthy changes in release 2011.07.17 (2011-07-17) [stable]

  A cut-and-paste error in AX_BOOST_FILESSYTEM has been fixed. See
  <http://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?7576> for further details.

  The macros AX_CHECK_SUNPRO_C and AX_LANG_COMPILER_MS are deprecated in favor
  of the more generic AX_COMPILER_VENDOR.

  Several instance of under-quoted arguments have been fixed in
  AX_CHECK_OPENSSL. See <http://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?7571> for further
  details.

  The new macros AX_CHECK_PREPROC_FLAG, AX_CHECK_COMPILE_FLAG, and
  AX_CHECK_LINK_FLAG have been added. They are intended to replace
  AX_CHECK_COMPILER_FLAGS, AX_CHECK_LINKER_FLAGS, AX_C_CHECK_FLAG,
  AX_CPP_CHECK_FLAG, AX_CXX_CHECK_FLAG, AX_CXXCPP_CHECK_FLAG and
  AX_LD_CHECK_FLAG. Consequently, the older macros have been marked obsolete,
  and they'll be removed from the archive in the foreseeable future.
  Further details can be found at
  
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-archive-maintainers/2011-06/msg00017.html>.

  The new macro AX_APPEND_FLAG, to append a flag to a FLAGS variable, has been
  added.  The convenience wrappers AX_APPEND_COMPILE_FLAGS and
  AX_APPEND_LINK_FLAGS have been added. Those two macros add the given flags
  only if the compiler/linker understands them.

  The obsolete macros AX_CFLAGS_WARN_ALL_ANSI, AX_C_IFDEF, AX_C_PRINTF_THSEP,
  AX_GCC_OPTION, AX_WITH_GUILE, AX_WITH_PERL, AX_WITH_PYTHON, and AX_WITH_RUBY
  have been deleted.

  The new macro AX_CHECK_MYSQL has been added. It is geared specifically toward
  MySQL plugin development. See <http://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?7553> for
  further details.

  AX_PTHREAD has been extended to check for PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT. See
  <http://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?7552> for further details.

  Several several bugs in AX_CHECK_DEFINE have been fixed. See
  <http://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?7551> for further details.

  The new macros AX_PROG_CC_MPI, AX_PROG_CXX_MPI, AX_PROG_F77_MPI, and
  AX_PROG_FC_MPI address several shortcomings found in AX_MPI. Further details
  can be found at
  
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-archive-maintainers/2011-05/msg00004.html>,
  
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-archive-maintainers/2011-06/msg00003.html>.

  AX_BOOST_THREAD: Two bugs have been fixed that prevented the macro from being
  used in cross-compilation environments for Windows on Unix.

  AX_VAR_TIMEZONE_EXTERNALS, AX_FUNC_WHICH_GETHOSTBYNAME_R, and AX_PTHREAD have
  been updated to conform with Autoconf 2.68
