- correct license and style (prepare_spec)
- minor build fixes, avoid deprecated macros to be more portable
- Remove redundant tags/sections from specfile
- Remove redundant tags/sections from specfile
- Use %_smp_mflags for parallel build
- Use 2.68 everywhere in specfile.
- Use %%configure macro in spec file.
- Cosmetic changes to spec file
- update to 2.68 to include the patch
** AC_MSG_ERROR (and AS_ERROR) can once again be followed immediately by
`dnl'. Regression introduced in 2.66.
** AC_INIT again allows URLs with '?' for its BUG-REPORT argument.
Regression introduced in 2.66.
** AC_REPLACE_FUNCS again allows a non-literal argument, such as a shell
variable that expands to a list of functions to check. Regression
introduced in 2.66.
** AT_BANNER() with empty argument will cause visual separation from previous
test category.
** The macros AC_PREPROC_IFELSE, AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, AC_LINK_IFELSE, and
AC_RUN_IFELSE now warn if the first argument failed to use
AC_LANG_SOURCE or AC_LANG_PROGRAM to generate the conftest file
contents. A new macro AC_LANG_DEFINES_PROVIDED exists if you have
a compelling reason why you cannot use AC_LANG_SOURCE but must

* Noteworthy changes in release 2.69 (2012-04-24) [stable]
** Autoconf now requires perl 5.6 or better (but generated
configure scripts continue to run without perl).
* Noteworthy changes in release 2.68b (2012-03-01) [beta] Released
by Eric Blake, based on git versions 2.68.*.
** Autoconf-generated configure scripts now unconditionally
re-execute themselves with $CONFIG_SHELL, if that's set in the
environment.
** The texinfo documentation no longer specifies "front-cover" or
"back-cover" texts, so that it may now be included in Debian's
"main" section.
** Support for the Go programming language has been added. The new
macro AC_LANG_GO sets variables GOC and GOFLAGS.
** AS_LITERAL_IF again treats '=' as a literal. Regression
introduced in 2.66.
** The macro AS_EXECUTABLE_P, present since 2.50, is now
documented.
** Macros
- AC_PROG_LN_S and AS_LN_S now fall back on 'cp -pR' (not 'cp -p')
if 'ln -s' does not work. This works better for symlinks to
directories.
- New macro AC_HEADER_CHECK_STDBOOL.
- New and updated macros for Fortran support:
AC_FC_CHECK_BOUNDS to enable array bounds checking
AC_F77_IMPLICIT_NONE and AC_FC_IMPLICIT_NONE to disable implicit integer
AC_FC_MODULE_EXTENSION to compute the Fortran 90 module name extension
AC_FC_MODULE_FLAG for the Fortran 90 module search path flag
AC_FC_MODULE_OUTPUT_FLAG for the Fortran 90 module output directory flag
AC_FC_PP_SRCEXT for preprocessed Fortran source files extensions

* New macro AC_FC_LINE_LENGTH to accept long Fortran source code
lines.
* AC_PREPROC_IFELSE now keeps the preprocessed output in the
conftest.i file for inspection by the commands in the
ACTION-IF-TRUE argument.
* autoreconf passes warning flags to new enough versions of
aclocal.
* Running an Autotest testsuite in parallel mode no longer triggers
a race condition that could cause the testsuite run to end early,
fixing a sporadic failure in autoconf's own testsuite. Bug
present since introduction of parallel tests in 2.63b.
Major changes in Autoconf 2.66 (2010-07-02) [stable]
* AC_FUNC_MMAP works in C++ mode again. Regression introduced in
2.65.
* Use of m4_divert without a named diversion now issues a syntax
warning, since it is seldom right to change diversions behind
autoconf's back.
* The macros AC_TYPE_INT8_T, AC_TYPE_INT16_T, AC_TYPE_INT32_T, and
AC_TYPE_INT64_T work again. Regression introduced in 2.65.
* AC_PROG_INSTALL correctly uses `shtool' again. Regression
introduced in 2.64.
* Autoconf should work on EBCDIC hosts.
* AC_CHECK_DECL and AC_CHECK_DECLS accept optional function
argument types for overloaded C++ functions.
* AS_SET_CATFILE accepts nonliterals in its variable name argument
now.
* Autotest testsuites accept an option --recheck to rerun tests
that failed or passed unexpectedly during the last non-debug
