 Module Name:	src
 Committed By:	pavel

 Modified Files:
 	src/tools/compat [netbsd-4]: Makefile compat_defs.h configure.ac
 
 Log Message:
 Pull up following revision(s) (requested by apb in ticket #827):
 	tools/compat/Makefile: revision 1.50
 	tools/compat/compat_defs.h: revision 1.60
 	tools/compat/configure.ac: revision 1.62-1.64
 More detailed instructions for what to do when editing configure.ac.
 In particular, discourage the use of non-tools versions of
 autoconf and autoheader.
 Provide definitions for {be,le}{16,32,64}{enc,dec} if necessary.
 This is adapted from the very detailed fix provided by
 Giles Lean in PR bin/36678.
 Only one simplified implementation is provided, instead of the
 two implementations conditional on __GNUC_PREREQ__(2,95) that are
 provided in NetBSD's <sys/endian.h>.  The use of memcpy instead of
 __builtin__memcpy, and the absence of __inline or __unused, should make
 it independent of GCC.
 Update the instructions to say that regen should be done again
 to pick up changed RCS IDs.
