* configure.in: Use the AC_PROG_CPP macro, and then use the CPP variable to scan the machine and system description files. * configure.in: Use the AC_HAVE_HEADERS to check for sys/timeb.h, so that getdate.y builds correctly. * configure.in (tempcname): Change this to "conftest.c", so it will work properly on systems with short filenames; this is the name autoconf uses. * configure.in: Also detect the availability of dup2 and gethostname. * configure.in: Use the AC_ALLOCA test. * Makefile.in (ALLOCA): New variable, to be set by ./configure. (lib-src/Makefile): Edit the value of ALLOCA into lib-src/Makefile. * Makefile.in: Add autoconf cookies so that the configure script can comment out sections of path variable definitions to choose between the installable configuration and the run-in-place configuration. * configure.in: Add new option `--run-in-place', to select the run-in-place path definitions. * configure.in: Add a clause to the big configuration name case for the NeXT machine.
