AC_ARG_PROGRAM with AC_CANONICAL_TARGET or AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE

[Дилян Палаузов]

Hello,

I am using autoconf 2.61 with automake 1.10.1 .

I noticed in autoconf.m4f and general.m4 that AC_CANONICAL_TARGET is 
supposed to come before AC_ARG_PROGRAM . This is not very clear 
documentated in AC_ARG_PROGRAM.

Moreover, calling AC_ARG_PROGRAM after AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE produces 
warnings for multiple calls of AC_ARG_PROGRAM. While the documentation 
of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE goes beyond the documentation of autoconf, I think 
in AC_ARG_PROGRAM shall be written the relation to AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE. 
Only in this way people can find out what is wrong, when they include 
both AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE and AM_ARG_PROGRAM is this order. (Excuse me, if 
this information is implied from some other source of documentation).

        Greetings,
                Дилян
