This quadigraph used before a C preprocessor 'define' directive could
be fooling M4, when processing this file, and make it think that the
line contains a pure M4 'define' macro.

in top Makefile.am triggered a problem that prevented aclocal from running
successfully on SunOS 5.10 with GNU m4 1.4.5 and GNU Autoconf 2.61

A tarball which reproduces mentioned problem is the one dated July-28-2008

We actually don't need all the bells and whistles that the above mechanism
provides. We only need to include our m4/reentrant.m4 file in acinclude.m4
so here we go with this simpler mechanism.

Made --interface tests less restrictive on host address.

because at the current point in time I think the benefit of adding that new
return code is very slim and it is a lot of work to introduce new return codes
(for docs and maintenance etc)

I added "145 - Phil Blundell's CURLOPT_SCOPE patch/work" since I want it
sorted/committed.

Partially undo change that prevented SED, GREP, EGREP and AR from being changed by libtool or autoconf.

  overrun" (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2026240) identifying two
  problems, and providing the fix for them:

  - CURL_READFUNC_PAUSE did in fact not pause the _sending_ of data that it is
    designed for but paused _receiving_ of data!

  - libcurl didn't internally set the read counter to zero when this return
    code was detected, which would potentially lead to junk getting sent to
    the server.

that other package's underquoted m4 function definitions have on ours.

that starting with Automake 1.8, aclocal will warn about all underquoted calls
to AC_DEFUN due to the fact that in a single aclocal run it might include more
than once all .m4 files which it finds available, this includes .m4 files from
other software packages.

If the first argument to AC_DEFUN is underquoted and the same macro is included
more than once, successive inclusions after the first one will expand the macro
instead of assuming it is the same as the first one included.
