  23 ;;; Commentary:
  24
  25 ;; Provides fairly minimal font-lock, imenu and indentation support
  26 ;; for editing configure.ac files.  Only Autoconf syntax is processed.
  27 ;; There is no attempt to deal with shell text -- probably that will
  28 ;; always lose.
  29
  30 ;; This is specialized for configure.ac files.  It doesn't inherit the
  31 ;; general M4 stuff from M4 mode.
  32
  33 ;; There is also an autoconf-mode.el in existence.  That appears to be
  34 ;; for editing the Autoconf M4 source, rather than configure.ac files.
