FYI: diagnostic clarification

[Alexandre Duret-Lutz]

I find this

configure.ac:286: __PERL: variable names starting with `_' are not portable
configure.ac:288: __PYTHON: variable names starting with `_' are not portable
configure.ac:289: __RM: variable names starting with `_' are not portable
configure.ac:290: __RSH: variable names starting with `_' are not portable
configure.ac:291: __SED: variable names starting with `_' are not portable

a bit misleading, so I'm installing the following patch on HEAD and
the equivalent on branch-1-7.

2003-07-10  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <address@hidden>

        * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define): Make clear the diagnostic
        about variable names starting with `_' is about *Make* variables.
