in the near future.

[PATCH] maint: spelling fixes

I ran my little spell-checking program and pushed the following
as (I hope) obvious.  I took the liberty of replacing "facultative"
with "optional", since I hadn't a clue what "facultative" meant
until I looked it up and it does seem to be a term that's used
in biology rather than in computing.

ACK, and thanks for chasing this.  And good thing we did a pre-release :)

Thanks, I pushed that fix as follows:

* tests/m4sh.at (AS <at> &t <at> _EXECUTABLE): "#!/bin/sh", not "#/bin/sh".

Re: [GNU Autoconf 2.68.147-cca28] testsuite: 100 failed

Thanks, I had already found that independently, and I
fixed that by pushing the following:

tests: port AS_TR_SH and AS_TR_CPP test to Solaris 8 wc
* tests/m4sh.at (AS <at> &t <at> _TR_SH and AS <at> &t <at> _TR_CPP): Do not assume
that "wc -l" outputs only digits; on Solaris 8 it also outputs
blanks and POSIX allows this.

[PATCH] tests: port AS_EXECUTABLE_P test to Solaris 8 /bin/sh

(I pushed this to port the new test to Solaris 8 /bin/sh.)

* tests/m4sh.at (AS <at> &t <at> _EXECUTABLE): Treat any nonzero exit
status as failure.  This is needed for Solaris 8 /bin/sh,
where executing a nonexecutable file causes the shell
to say the file had exit status 1.
