+#
+#   AX_APPEND_COMPILE_FLAGS([FLAG1 FLAG2 ...], [FLAGS-VARIABLE], [EXTRA-FLAGS], [INPUT])
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+#   For every FLAG1, FLAG2 it is checked whether the compiler works with the
+#   flag.  If it does, the flag is added FLAGS-VARIABLE
+#
+#   If FLAGS-VARIABLE is not specified, the current language's flags (e.g.
+#   CFLAGS) is used.  During the check the flag is always added to the
+#   current language's flags.
+#
+#   If EXTRA-FLAGS is defined, it is added to the current language's default
+#   flags (e.g. CFLAGS) when the check is done.  The check is thus made with
+#   the flags: "CFLAGS EXTRA-FLAGS FLAG".  This can for example be used to
+#   force the compiler to issue an error when a bad flag is given.
+#
+#   INPUT gives an alternative input source to AC_COMPILE_IFELSE.
+#
+#   NOTE: This macro depends on the AX_APPEND_FLAG and
+#   AX_CHECK_COMPILE_FLAG. Please keep this macro in sync with
+#   AX_APPEND_LINK_FLAGS.

+# DESCRIPTION
+#

+#
+#   If FLAGS-VARIABLE is not specified, the current language's flags (e.g.

+#   AX_REQUIRE_DEFINED is a simple helper for making sure other macros have

+#
+#   It's like AC_REQUIRE except it doesn't expand the required macro.
