commit 9c3d4d8f91904f4b99446c7a1870acf61357d715
Author: Ralf Wildenhues <[email protected]>
Date:   Sun Nov 23 14:38:24 2008 +0100

    Revenge of the $ECHO. Kill most uses of Xsed.
    
    * libltdl/config/general.m4sh: Replace all uses of `$ECHO "X..."
    | $Xsed' with `$ECHO "..." | $SED', and employ further trivial
    simplifications.  Replace $ECHO with echo where appropriate.
    (func_echo_all): New function.
    * libltdl/config/getopt.m4sh: Likewise simplifications.
    * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh: Likewise.
    * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4: Likewise.
    (LT_CMD_MAX_LEN): Use func_fallback_echo, to ensure that the
    command line is passed through an exec* function.
    * libtoolize.m4sh: Likewise simplifications.  Use func_echo_all
    to implement --dry-run.
    * tests/defs.m4sh: Likewise simplifications.
    * tests/quote.test: Likewise simplifications.
