[*] 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-2011.09.17.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
  Gnulib v0.0-6174-g7e8529f

NEWS

* Noteworthy changes in release 2011.09.17 (2011-09-17) [stable]

  AX_LIB_MYSQLCPPCONN has been added, a macro that tests for the MySQL
  Connector/C++ libraries. See <http://savannah.gnu.org/patch/index.php?7609>
  for further details.

  AX_LIB_TRACE has been added, a macro that tests for the libtrace libraries.
  See <http://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?7608> for further details.

  AX_FUNC_FORK and AX_SNPRINTF_OFLOW have been marked obsolete, because there
  are superior alternatives.

  AX_DEFINE_DIR has been marked obsolete because its design does not comply
  with the GNU Coding Standards.

  Modified AX_LIB_SQLITE3 to find the library using the C instead of the C++
  compiler. See <http://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?7601> for further details.

  AX_CHECK_GL, AX_CHECK_GLU, AX_CHECK_GLUT have been marked obsolete. The
  author of these macros prefers to publish them on his own website at
  <http://code.google.com/p/autoconf-gl-macros/>.

  AX_CHECK_MYSQL has been significantly re-factored to fix several bugs. See
  <http://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?7599> for further details.

  New additions AX_PERL_EXT and AX_RUBY_EXT can be used to fetch the linker
  flags and C compiler flags for compiling and linking Perl/Ruby binary
  extensions.

  AX_LIB_HDF5 erroneously defined HAVE_HDF5 even when the library was not
  detected. This has been fixed.

  Autoconf 2.68 warnings concerning AX_PTHREAD haven been fixed.

  AX_WITH_CURSES has been extensively re-written, and the new variants
  AX_WITH_CURSES_PANEL, AX_WITH_CURSES_MENU, and AX_WITH_CURSES_FORM have been
  added. See <http://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?7587> for further details.

  AX_GCC_INSTALL_DIR, AX_GCC_LIBRARIES_DIR, AX_GCC_VERSION, and AX_GXX_VERSION
  are non-functional and have been marked obsolete, because they depend on the
  obsolete AX_GCC_OPTION macro, which has been removed from the archive.
