+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+#   AX_COMPARE_VERSION(VERSION_A, OP, VERSION_B, [ACTION-IF-TRUE], [ACTION-IF-FALSE])
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+#   This macro compares two version strings. Due to the various number of
+#   minor-version numbers that can exist, and the fact that string
+#   comparisons are not compatible with numeric comparisons, this is not
+#   necessarily trivial to do in a autoconf script. This macro makes doing
+#   these comparisons easy.
+#
+#   The six basic comparisons are available, as well as checking equality
+#   limited to a certain number of minor-version levels.
+#
+#   The operator OP determines what type of comparison to do, and can be one
+#   of:
+#
+#    eq  - equal (test A == B)
+#    ne  - not equal (test A != B)
+#    le  - less than or equal (test A <= B)
+#    ge  - greater than or equal (test A >= B)
+#    lt  - less than (test A < B)
+#    gt  - greater than (test A > B)
+#
+#   Additionally, the eq and ne operator can have a number after it to limit
+#   the test to that number of minor versions.
+#
+#    eq0 - equal up to the length of the shorter version
+#    ne0 - not equal up to the length of the shorter version
+#    eqN - equal up to N sub-version levels
+#    neN - not equal up to N sub-version levels
+#
+#   When the condition is true, shell commands ACTION-IF-TRUE are run,
+#   otherwise shell commands ACTION-IF-FALSE are run. The environment
+#   variable 'ax_compare_version' is always set to either 'true' or 'false'
+#   as well.
+#
+#   Examples:
+#
+#     AX_COMPARE_VERSION([3.15.7],[lt],[3.15.8])
+#     AX_COMPARE_VERSION([3.15],[lt],[3.15.8])
+#
+#   would both be true.
+#
+#     AX_COMPARE_VERSION([3.15.7],[eq],[3.15.8])
+#     AX_COMPARE_VERSION([3.15],[gt],[3.15.8])
+#
+#   would both be false.
+#
+#     AX_COMPARE_VERSION([3.15.7],[eq2],[3.15.8])
+#
+#   would be true because it is only comparing two minor versions.
+#
+#     AX_COMPARE_VERSION([3.15.7],[eq0],[3.15])
+#
+#   would be true because it is only comparing the lesser number of minor
+#   versions of the two values.
+#
+#   Note: The characters that separate the version numbers do not matter. An
+#   empty string is the same as version 0. OP is evaluated by autoconf, not
+#   configure, so must be a string, not a variable.
+#
+#   The author would like to acknowledge Guido Draheim whose advice about
+#   the m4_case and m4_ifvaln functions make this macro only include the
+#   portions necessary to perform the specific comparison specified by the
+#   OP argument in the final configure script.

+#
+#   AX_PROG_PERL_VERSION([VERSION],[ACTION-IF-TRUE],[ACTION-IF-FALSE])
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+#   Makes sure that perl supports the version indicated. If true the shell
+#   commands in ACTION-IF-TRUE are executed. If not the shell commands in
+#   ACTION-IF-FALSE are run. Note if $PERL is not set (for example by
+#   running AC_CHECK_PROG or AC_PATH_PROG) the macro will fail.
+#
+#   Example:
+#
+#     AC_PATH_PROG([PERL],[perl])
+#     AX_PROG_PERL_VERSION([5.8.0],[ ... ],[ ... ])
+#
+#   This will check to make sure that the perl you have supports at least
+#   version 5.8.0.
+#
+#   NOTE: This macro uses the $PERL variable to perform the check.
+#   AX_WITH_PERL can be used to set that variable prior to running this
+#   macro. The $PERL_VERSION variable will be valorized with the detected
+#   version.
