dnl This is a basic Autoconf configure.ac file for Python-based
dnl projects. It is not intended to be used as-is, but rather to be
dnl modified to the specific needs of the project.
dnl
dnl Lines prefixed with "dnl" are comments that are automatically
dnl removed by Autoconf/M4, thus they will not appear in the generated
dnl configure script (see the M4 documentation for more information). 
dnl Such comments are used in this file to communicate information to 
dnl you, the developer. In some cases, the comments contain extra 
dnl macros that you might consider including in your configure script. 
dnl If you wish to include them, simply remove the "dnl" from the 
dnl beginning of the line.
dnl
dnl Lines prefixed with "#" are comments that will appear in the 
dnl generated configure script. These comments are thus used to clarify
dnl to the user what is happening in that script
dnl
dnl Wherever pyconfigure-specific macros are used, extra comments are
dnl included to describe the macros.

dnl With the following set of macros, we implement an option 
dnl "--with-virtualenv", which the user can pass to the configure 
dnl script in order to install to a Virtualenv (AC_ARG_WITH). If the 
dnl option is specified by the user, then we check if the program is
dnl available, checking both for "virtualenv" and "virtualenv2" 
dnl (AC_CHECK_PROGS)

dnl----
dnl If the program uses sphinx-build to build documentation, uncomment 
dnl this to create a SPHINXBUILD variable in the Makefile pointing to 
dnl the program. Thus, the user would specify 
dnl SPHINXBUILD=/path/to/sphinx-build as an argument to the configure
dnl script. Since building the documentation should be optional, just
dnl print a warning. If the program uses some other documentation
dnl system, you can do something similar with it.
