+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+# AX_PROG_CC_CHAR_SUBSCRIPTS(substvar [,hard])
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+# Try to find a compiler option that enables usage of char-type to index a
+# value-field. This one needs unsigned-chars and it must suppress warnings
+# about usage of chars for subscripting. for gcc -funsigned-char
+# -Wno-char-subscripts
+#
+# Currently this macro knows about GCC. hopefully will evolve to use:
+# Solaris C compiler, Digital Unix C compiler, C for AIX Compiler, HP-UX C
+# compiler, and IRIX C compiler.
