23 ;;; Commentary:
24
25 ;; Provides fairly minimal font-lock, imenu and indentation support
26 ;; for editing configure.in files. Only Autoconf syntax is processed.
27 ;; There is no attempt to deal with shell text -- probably that will
28 ;; always lose.
29
30 ;; This is specialized for configure.in files. It doesn't inherit the
31 ;; general M4 stuff from M4 mode.
32
33 ;; There is also an autoconf-mode.el in existence. That appears to be
34 ;; for editing the Autoconf M4 source, rather than configure.in files.
