. The ace-config script has been replaced by pkg-config metadata files
which are installed in ${prefix}/lib/pkgconfig by the automake build.
+. Remove ACE_OS::gets() implementation. While this ACE implementation
+ of gets() did not contain the security holes that all standard
+ gets() implementations have, keeping it around only serves to foster
+ confusion since (1) some may incorrectly assume that this
+ ACE-specific gets() implementation has the same holes as standard
+ ones, and (2) invoking it with a default size argument so that it
+ looks like a standard gets() call results in behavior that is
+ different from the standard. Use ACE_OS::fgets() instead.
