[Patch] Support for Erlang tools and Erlang as a test language

[Romain Lenglet]

Hi,


Please find attached a patch to the CVS version of autoconf, that 
adds support for basic Erlang [1] tools (erl, erlc) and for 
using Erlang as a configuration language, along with useful 
macros for configuring Erlang libraries directories, etc.

I have also attached dummy configure.ac and Makefile.am that 
demonstrate the use of those macros.


I have not included tests in this patch (no tests/erlang.at).
I know it is bad. ;-(

Please give me feedback if anything is wrong in this patch.
I would really like that patch to be included in autoconf, since 
the erlang.m4 file cannot be used as an acinclude.m4 file, just 
like any language support file: aclocal chokes on AC_DEFUNs with 
names that include round brackets as is required by autoconf's 
language support syntax, e.g.:
AC_DEFUN([AC_LANG_PREPROC(Erlang)],
...
