regex: deprecate the obsolete macro AM_WITH_REGEX This is a backport of commit v1.11-433-g37b0aee. Today, practically nobody uses the GNU rx library, which, according to its own website <http://www.gnu.org/software/rx/rx.html>, has been "decommissioned". Consequently, the automake-provided macro AM_WITH_REGEX is not used nor required anymore. Deprecate it, so that it will be possible to safely remove it in the next major automake version. * m4/regex.m4 (AM_WITH_REGEX): Give a warning of the class `obsolete' when this macro is used. * doc/automake.texi (Public Macros): Move description of `AM_WITH_REGEX' from here ... (Obsolete Macros): ... to here, and declare it as obsolete and "to be removed in a future version". * tests/regex-obsolete.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. * NEWS: Update.
