6#
7#   AX_CHECK_GNU_MAKE([run-if-true],[run-if-false])
8#
9# DESCRIPTION
10#
11#   This macro searches for a GNU version of make. If a match is found:
12#
13#     * The makefile variable `ifGNUmake' is set to the empty string, otherwise
14#       it is set to "#". This is useful for including a special features in a
15#       Makefile, which cannot be handled by other versions of make.
16#     * The makefile variable `ifnGNUmake' is set to #, otherwise
17#       it is set to the empty string. This is useful for including a special
18#       features in a Makefile, which can be handled
19#       by other versions of make or to specify else like clause.
20#     * The variable `_cv_gnu_make_command` is set to the command to invoke
21#       GNU make if it exists, the empty string otherwise.
22#     * The variable `ax_cv_gnu_make_command` is set to the command to invoke
23#       GNU make by copying `_cv_gnu_make_command`, otherwise it is unset.
24#     * If GNU Make is found, its version is extracted from the output of
25#       `make --version` as the last field of a record of space-separated
26#       columns and saved into the variable `ax_check_gnu_make_version`.
27#     * Additionally if GNU Make is found, run shell code run-if-true
28#       else run shell code run-if-false.
29#
30#   Here is an example of its use:
31#
32#   Makefile.in might contain:
33#
34#     # A failsafe way of putting a dependency rule into a makefile
35#     $(DEPEND):
36#             $(CC) -MM $(srcdir)/*.c > $(DEPEND)
37#
38#     @ifGNUmake@ ifeq ($(DEPEND),$(wildcard $(DEPEND)))
39#     @ifGNUmake@ include $(DEPEND)
40#     @ifGNUmake@ else
41#     fallback code
42#     @ifGNUmake@ endif
43#
44#   Then configure.in would normally contain:
45#
46#     AX_CHECK_GNU_MAKE()
47#     AC_OUTPUT(Makefile)
48#
49#   Then perhaps to cause gnu make to override any other make, we could do
50#   something like this (note that GNU make always looks for GNUmakefile
51#   first):
52#
53#     if  ! test x$_cv_gnu_make_command = x ; then
54#             mv Makefile GNUmakefile
55#             echo .DEFAULT: > Makefile ;
56#             echo \  $_cv_gnu_make_command \$@ >> Makefile;
57#     fi
58#
59#   Then, if any (well almost any) other make is called, and GNU make also
60#   exists, then the other make wraps the GNU make.
