15.7 Transforming Program Names When Installing
===============================================

Autoconf supports changing the names of programs when installing them.
In order to use these transformations, ‘configure.ac’ must call the
macro ‘AC_ARG_PROGRAM’.

 -- Macro: AC_ARG_PROGRAM
     Place in output variable ‘program_transform_name’ a sequence of
     ‘sed’ commands for changing the names of installed programs.

     If any of the options described below are given to ‘configure’,
     program names are transformed accordingly.  Otherwise, if
     ‘AC_CANONICAL_TARGET’ has been called and a ‘--target’ value is
     given, the target type followed by a dash is used as a prefix.
     Otherwise, no program name transformation is done.
