-# SYNOPSIS
-#
-#   CHECK_GNU_MAKE()
-#
-# DESCRIPTION
-#
-#   This macro searches for a GNU version of make. If a match is found, the
-#   makefile variable `ifGNUmake' is set to the empty string, otherwise it
-#   is set to "#". This is useful for including a special features in a
-#   Makefile, which cannot be handled by other versions of make. The
-#   variable _cv_gnu_make_command is set to the command to invoke GNU make
-#   if it exists, the empty string otherwise.
-#
-#   Here is an example of its use:
-#
-#   Makefile.in might contain:
-#
-#       # A failsafe way of putting a dependency rule into a makefile
-#       $(DEPEND):
-#               $(CC) -MM $(srcdir)/*.c > $(DEPEND)
-#
-#       @ifGNUmake@ ifeq ($(DEPEND),$(wildcard $(DEPEND)))
-#       @ifGNUmake@ include $(DEPEND)
-#       @ifGNUmake@ endif
-#
-#   Then configure.in would normally contain:
-#
-#       CHECK_GNU_MAKE()
-#       AC_OUTPUT(Makefile)
-#
-#   Then perhaps to cause gnu make to override any other make, we could do
-#   something like this (note that GNU make always looks for GNUmakefile
-#   first):
-#
-#       if  ! test x$_cv_gnu_make_command = x ; then
-#               mv Makefile GNUmakefile
-#               echo .DEFAULT: > Makefile ;
-#               echo \  $_cv_gnu_make_command \$@ >> Makefile;
-#       fi
-#
-#   Then, if any (well almost any) other make is called, and GNU make also
-#   exists, then the other make wraps the GNU make.
