It seems that some autoconf projects use a configure.in file to generate a configure script, and some use configure.ac.
What is the difference/advantage between using one or the other?
Its just a matter of style. Historically autoconf files were named
configure.in. Nowconfigure.acis the preferred naming scheme. Its also discussed in the documentation.
