I just realized a namespace problem, when I wanted to apply the
following obvious patch:

--- autobuild   12 Apr 2007 10:28:33 +0200      1.1
+++ autobuild   12 Apr 2007 14:50:49 +0200      
@@ -6,6 +6,9 @@
 
 Depends-on:
 
+configure.ac-early:
+AC_REQUIRE([AB_INIT])
+
 configure.ac:
 
 Makefile.am:

Would the non-gl_ namespace be OK if we make the 'autobuild' project
the master repository?  If so, it feels a bit silly to have Karl have
to pull in things from this project just to avoid a namespace problem.
I suggest we simply permit this non-gl_ namespace and consider the
'autobuild' project the canonical upstream for autobuild.m4 (even if
it is technically not true).

Opinions?
