# OBSOLETE MACRO
#
#   This macro is obsolete because its been completely broken for several
#   years without anybody noticing, so apparently it's not used very much.
#
# SYNOPSIS
#
#   AX_DEFINE_SUB_PATH(DEFNAME, varname, description)
#
# DESCRIPTION
#
#   Look at varname and detect the subpath that it contains relative to
#   $prefix/$exec_prefix. If the path is indeed relative to
#   $prefix/$exec_prefix, then a single "./" (dotslash) is prepended,
#   otherwise it can be seen as an absolute path that cannot be moved, which
#   you possibly do for "/etc" files, or even those ending up in
#   "/lib/modules" or "/winnt/system".
#
#   This macro is not very intelligent, it's just a first try in this
#   direction. It does currently just look into the current patterns, and
#   replaces a ${prefix} with a simple dot. Amazingly, it works quite well
#   for most packages.
#
#   Example (configure.ac):
#
#     AX_DEFINE_DIR([EPREFIX], [exec_prefix], [--exec-prefix or default])
#     AX_DEFINE_SUB_PATH([PATH_LIBDIR], [libdir], [--bindir subdir])
#     AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED([PACKAGE],"$PACKAGE", [Name of package])
#
#   Example (in C):
#
#     static const char _libdir[] = PATH_LIBDIR; /* configure default */
#     char* libdir;
#     char* eprefix = getenv (PACKAGE "DIR");
#     if (! eprefix) eprefix = EPREFIX; /* default */
#     if (*_libdir != '.') libdir = strdup(_libdir);
#     else {
#        libdir = malloc(strlen(eprefix) + strlen(_libdir) + 2);
#        strcpy(libdir, eprefix);
#        strcat(libdir, PATH_DELIMITER_STRING);
#        strcat(libdir, _libdir);
#     }
#     ...
#     free (libdir);
#
#   The AX_DEFINE_SUB_PATHS(varnames) macro looks for the given various
#   install-paths that largely depend on either ${prefix} or ${exec_prefix}.
#   Just cut out the prefix and ac_define the value. The value is uppercased
#   and PATH_ prepended ie. ax_define_sub_paths(bindir libdir pkgdatadir)
#   will create the defines PATH_BINDIR PATH_LIBDIR PATH_PKGDATADIR - see
#   posix' include/paths.h that creates _PATH_DEV and friends.
