?S:	This shell variable is used internally by Configure to check
?S:	wether a given C symbol is defined or not. A typical use is:
?S:		set symbol result [-fva] [previous]
?S:		eval $csym
?S:	That will set result to 'true' if the function [-f], variable [-v]
?S:	or array [-a] is defined, 'false' otherwise. If a previous value is
?S:	given and the -r flag was provided on the command line, that value
?S:	is reused without questioning.

?X: We use 'char' instead of 'int' to try to circumvent overzealous
?X: optimizing compilers using built-in prototypes for commonly used
?X: routines to complain when seeing a different external declaration. For
?X: instance, gcc 2.6.3 fails if we use 'int' and we attempt a test against
?X: memcpy() on machines where sizeof(int) == sizeof(char *) (the usual return
?X: type), the compiler assuming it's a built-in declaration given that the
?X: returned size matches. At least with 'char' we are safe! -- RAM, for ADO
?X:
?X: Let's thank GNU cc for making our lifes so easy! :-)
?X: (An alternative for the future would be to use our knowledge about gcc
?X: to force a -fno-builtin option in the compile test, in case the 'char'
?X: trick is obsoleted by future gcc releases). -- RAM
?X:
?X: Lastly, gcc 3.4 otimizes &missing == 0 away, so we use + 2 instead now.
?X: The GNU folks like to do weird things, don't they? -- RAM, 2004-06-05
