9.4 Transforming Program Names When Installing
==============================================

Autoconf supports changing the names of programs when installing them.
In order to use these transformations, 'configure.in' must call the
macro 'AC_ARG_PROGRAM'.

 -- Macro: AC_ARG_PROGRAM
     Place in output variable 'program_transform_name' a sequence of
     'sed' commands for changing the names of installed programs.

     If any of the options described below are given to 'configure',
     program names are transformed accordingly.  Otherwise, if
     'AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM' has been called and a '--target' value is
     given that differs from the host type (specified with '--host' or
     defaulted by 'config.sub'), the target type followed by a dash is
     used as a prefix.  Otherwise, no program name transformation is
     done.
