Refactor configure.ac to make it more understandable. Use common syntax for messages in config.h Correct typos, refer to libraries in all caps, use two spaces after period. Follow Autoconf guidelines and place general tests before specific tests. * configure.ac, m4/acinclude.m4: Use common syntax for messages in config.h Correct typos, refer to libraries in all caps, use two spaces after period.

## Undocumented internal function.
## @end deftypefn

## Run @code{makeinfo} on a given text.
##
## The string @var{text} is run through the @code{__makeinfo__} program
## to generate output in various formats. This string must contain valid
## Texinfo formatted text.
##
## The @var{output_type} selects the format of the output. This can be either
## @t{"html"}, @t{"texinfo"}, or @t{"plain text"}. By default this is
## @t{"plain text"}. If @var{output_type} is @t{"texinfo"}, the @t{@@seealso}
## macro is expanded, but otherwise the text is unaltered.
##
## If the optional argument @var{see_also} is present, it is used to expand the
## Octave specific @t{@@seealso} macro. This argument must be a function handle,
## that accepts a cell array of strings as input argument (each elements of the
## array corresponds to the arguments to the @t{@@seealso} macro), and return
## the expanded string. If this argument is not given, the @t{@@seealso} macro
## will be expanded to the text
##
## @example
## See also: arg1, arg2, ...
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## for @t{"plain text"} output, and
##
## @example
## See also: @@ref@{arg1@}, @@ref@{arg2@}, ...
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## otherwise.
##
## The optional output argument @var{status} contains the exit status of the
## @code{makeinfo} program as returned by @code{system}.
