| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The acinclude.m4 file is in a usual Autotools build processed with Automake's aclocal tool. Since PHP currently doesn't use Automake and aclocal this file can be moved into the build directory. PHP build system currently generates a combined aclocal.m4 file that Autoconf can processes automatically. However, a newer practice is writing all local macros in separate dedicated files prefixed with package name, in PHP's case PHP_MACRO_NAME and putting them in a common `m4` directory. PHP uses currently `build` directory for this purpose. Name `php.m4` probably most resembles such file for PHP's case. PHP manually created the aclocal.m4 file from acinclude.m4 and build/libtool.m4. Which is also not a particularly good practice [1], so this patch also removes the generated alocal.m4 usage and uses m4_include() calls manually in the configure.ac and phpize.m4 files manually. - sort order is not important but can be alphabetical - list of *.m4 files prerequisites for configure script generation updated - Moving m4_include() before AC_INIT also removes all comments starting with hash character (`#`) in the included files.

* Move README files to a dedicated docs directoryPeter Kokot2019-03-301-0/+123
The new dedicated docs directory has been introduced after a discussion on GitHub[1]. Main issue it is addressing is the reduction of too many README files in the project root directory. The new directory is dedicated for notes and quick documentation files that either can't be put in the manual or wiki pages or that relate to the php-src repository specifically and need to live together with the source code. Also the `docs` directory is by GitHub used for some repository configuration files such as pull request templates, and contributing documentation helper files that are integrated in the interface.
