#
# configure generates a series of configuration files:
#  - config.h contains #defines that are used in the C code.
#  - config.mak is included from the Makefiles.
#
# If you want to add a new check for $feature, here is a simple skeleton:
#
# echocheck "$feature"
# if test "$_feature" = auto; then
# cat > $TMPC << EOF
# #include <feature.h>
# int main(void) { return 0; }
# EOF
# _feature=no
# cc_check && _feature=yes
# fi
# if test "$_feature" = yes ; then
#   def_feature='#define CONFIG_FEATURE 1'
# else
#   def_feature='#undef CONFIG_FEATURE'
# fi
# echores "$_feature"
#
# Furthermore you need to add the variable _feature to the list of default
# settings and set it to one of yes/no/auto. Also add appropriate
# --enable-feature/--disable-feature command line options.
# The results of the check should be written to config.h and config.mak
