+dnl Fix Autoconf-2.59 AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS whitespace mangling,
+dnl by overriding the broken internal Autoconf macro with a
+dnl backport of the 2.60 fix.
+dnl
+dnl This file should be a no-op for Autoconf versions != 2.59.
+dnl It can be removed once the complete tree has moved to a
+dnl newer Autoconf version.
+
+dnl m4_PACKAGE_VERSION is an undocumented Autoconf macro.
+dnl We use it because this fix is intended for 2.59 only.
+dnl A feature test for the broken AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS instead
+dnl would be better but is tricky.
+dnl
+dnl Use ifdef/ifelse over m4_ifdef/m4_ifelse to be clean for 2.13.
+dnl Redefine AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS so aclocal pulls in this file
+dnl when needed.
