#
# SYNOPSIS
#
#   AX_PROG_EMACS
#
# DESCRIPTION
#
#   This macro allows the end user to specify a particular Emacs executable
#   via a configure script command-line arg. For example:
#
#     ./configure EMACS=$HOME/build/GNU/emacs/src/emacs
#
#   It also arranges to mention env var EMACS in the './configure --help'
#   output. See info node "(autoconf) Generic Programs" for details.
#
#   More precisely...
#
#   If env var EMACS is set, try to use its value directly, but avoid
#   getting fooled by value 't' (set by older Emacsen for subprocesses). If
#   no joy from the environment, search for "emacs" via AC_CHECK_PROG. If
#   still no joy, display "Emacs not found; required!" and make configure
#   exit failurefully. Otherwise, set shell var EMACS and AC_SUBST it, too.
