+dnl Copyright (C) 2002-2003, 2005-2006, 2008-2010 Free Software Foundation,
+dnl Inc.
+dnl This file is free software, distributed under the terms of the GNU
+dnl General Public License. As a special exception to the GNU General
+dnl Public License, this file may be distributed as part of a program
+dnl that contains a configuration script generated by Autoconf, under
+dnl the same distribution terms as the rest of that program.
+
+dnl This file defines some "once only" variants of standard autoconf macros.
+dnl AC_CHECK_HEADERS_ONCE like AC_CHECK_HEADERS
+dnl AC_CHECK_FUNCS_ONCE like AC_CHECK_FUNCS
+dnl AC_CHECK_DECLS_ONCE like AC_CHECK_DECLS
+dnl AC_REQUIRE([AC_FUNC_STRCOLL]) like AC_FUNC_STRCOLL
+dnl The advantage is that the check for each of the headers/functions/decls
+dnl will be put only once into the 'configure' file. It keeps the size of
+dnl the 'configure' file down, and avoids redundant output when 'configure'
+dnl is run.
+dnl The drawback is that the checks cannot be conditionalized. If you write
+dnl if some_condition; then gl_CHECK_HEADERS(stdlib.h); fi
+dnl inside an AC_DEFUNed function, the gl_CHECK_HEADERS macro call expands to
+dnl empty, and the check will be inserted before the body of the AC_DEFUNed
+dnl function.
+
+dnl The original code implemented AC_CHECK_HEADERS_ONCE and AC_CHECK_FUNCS_ONCE
+dnl in terms of AC_DEFUN and AC_REQUIRE. This implementation uses diversions to
+dnl named sections DEFAULTS and INIT_PREPARE in order to check all requested
+dnl headers at once, thus reducing the size of 'configure'. It is known to work
+dnl with autoconf 2.57..2.62 at least . The size reduction is ca. 9%.
+
+dnl Autoconf version 2.59 plus gnulib is required; this file is not needed
+dnl with Autoconf 2.60 or greater. But note that autoconf's implementation of
+dnl AC_CHECK_DECLS_ONCE expects a comma-separated list of symbols as first
+dnl argument!
