+Subject: [PATCH] AC_INIT: add --runstatedir option to configure
+
+http://lwn.net/Articles/436012/ documents that many distros
+are now preferring to use /run rather than /var/run for
+storage of pid files and other per-process temporary files
+that must not be cleaned out during arbitrary TMPDIR sweeps.
+As such, the GNU Coding Standards were recently changed to
+recommend a new configure option to make it easy to choose
+this directory at configure time. This patch adds support
+for the option to all configure scripts built by autoconf.
+
+* general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Add new directory option.
+(_AC_INIT_HELP): Document it.
+* doc/autoconf.texi (Installation Directory Variables): Document
+new option.
+(Site Defaults): Mention typical use within a distro.
+* NEWS: Mention the addition.
+
