15 Old Macro Names
******************

In version 2 of Autoconf, most of the macros were renamed to use a more
uniform and descriptive naming scheme.  Here are the old names of the
macros that were renamed, followed by the current names of those macros.
Although the old names are still accepted by the 'autoconf' program for
backward compatibility, the old names are considered obsolete.  Note:
Macro Names, for a description of the new naming scheme.
