-# SYNOPSIS
-#
-#   AX_BERKELEY_DB_CXX([MINIMUM-VERSION [, ACTION-IF-FOUND [, ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND]]])
-#
-# DESCRIPTION
-#
-#   This macro tries to find Berkeley DB C++ support. It honors
-#   MINIMUM-VERSION if given.
-#
-#   If libdb_cxx is found, DB_CXX_HEADER and DB_CXX_LIBS variables are set
-#   and ACTION-IF-FOUND shell code is executed if specified. DB_CXX_HEADER
-#   is set to location of db.h header in quotes (e.g. "db3/db_cxx.h") and
-#   AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED is called on it, so that you can type
-#
-#     #include DB_CXX_HEADER
-#
-#   in your C/C++ code. DB_CXX_LIBS is set to linker flags needed to link
-#   against the library (e.g. -ldb3.1_cxx) and AC_SUBST is called on it.
-#
-#   when specified user-selected spot (via --with-libdb) also sets
-#
-#     DB_CXX_CPPFLAGS to the include directives required
-#     DB_CXX_LDFLAGS to the -L flags required

-# SYNOPSIS
-#
-#   AX_COMPARE_VERSION(VERSION_A, OP, VERSION_B, [ACTION-IF-TRUE], [ACTION-IF-FALSE])
-#
-# DESCRIPTION
-#
-#   This macro compares two version strings. Due to the various number of
-#   minor-version numbers that can exist, and the fact that string
-#   comparisons are not compatible with numeric comparisons, this is not
-#   necessarily trivial to do in a autoconf script. This macro makes doing
-#   these comparisons easy.
-#
-#   The six basic comparisons are available, as well as checking equality
-#   limited to a certain number of minor-version levels.
-#
-#   The operator OP determines what type of comparison to do, and can be one
-#   of:
-#
-#    eq  - equal (test A == B)
-#    ne  - not equal (test A != B)
-#    le  - less than or equal (test A <= B)
-#    ge  - greater than or equal (test A >= B)
-#    lt  - less than (test A < B)
-#    gt  - greater than (test A > B)
-#
-#   Additionally, the eq and ne operator can have a number after it to limit
-#   the test to that number of minor versions.
-#
-#    eq0 - equal up to the length of the shorter version
-#    ne0 - not equal up to the length of the shorter version
-#    eqN - equal up to N sub-version levels
-#    neN - not equal up to N sub-version levels
-#
-#   When the condition is true, shell commands ACTION-IF-TRUE are run,
-#   otherwise shell commands ACTION-IF-FALSE are run. The environment
-#   variable 'ax_compare_version' is always set to either 'true' or 'false'
-#   as well.
-#
-#   Examples:
-#
-#     AX_COMPARE_VERSION([3.15.7],[lt],[3.15.8])
-#     AX_COMPARE_VERSION([3.15],[lt],[3.15.8])
-#
-#   would both be true.
-#
-#     AX_COMPARE_VERSION([3.15.7],[eq],[3.15.8])
-#     AX_COMPARE_VERSION([3.15],[gt],[3.15.8])
-#
-#   would both be false.
-#
-#     AX_COMPARE_VERSION([3.15.7],[eq2],[3.15.8])
-#
-#   would be true because it is only comparing two minor versions.
-#
-#     AX_COMPARE_VERSION([3.15.7],[eq0],[3.15])
-#
-#   would be true because it is only comparing the lesser number of minor
-#   versions of the two values.
-#
-#   Note: The characters that separate the version numbers do not matter. An
-#   empty string is the same as version 0. OP is evaluated by autoconf, not
-#   configure, so must be a string, not a variable.
-#
-#   The author would like to acknowledge Guido Draheim whose advice about
-#   the m4_case and m4_ifvaln functions make this macro only include the
-#   portions necessary to perform the specific comparison specified by the
-#   OP argument in the final configure script.
