address@hidden NB: Yes, below we mean configure.in, not configure.ac.
If a given @var{dir} contains @command{configure.gnu}, it is run instead
of @command{configure}. This is for packages that might use a
non-Autoconf script @command{Configure}, which can't be called through a
wrapper @command{configure} since it would be the same file on
case-insensitive filesystems. Likewise, if a @var{dir} contains
address@hidden but no @command{configure}, the Cygnus
address@hidden but no @command{configure}, the Cygnus
@command{configure} script found by @code{AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR} is used.
The subdirectory @command{configure} scripts are given the same command
