+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+#   AX_CFLAGS_WARN_ALL   [(shellvar [,default, [A/NA]])]
+#   AX_CXXFLAGS_WARN_ALL [(shellvar [,default, [A/NA]])]
+#   AX_FCFLAGS_WARN_ALL  [(shellvar [,default, [A/NA]])]
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+#   Try to find a compiler option that enables most reasonable warnings.
+#
+#   For the GNU compiler it will be -Wall (and -ansi -pedantic) The result
+#   is added to the shellvar being CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, or FCFLAGS by default.
+#
+#   Currently this macro knows about the GCC, Solaris, Digital Unix, AIX,
+#   HP-UX, IRIX, NEC SX-5 (Super-UX 10), Cray J90 (Unicos 10.0.0.8), and
+#   Intel compilers.  For a given compiler, the Fortran flags are much more
+#   experimental than their C equivalents.
+#
+#    - $1 shell-variable-to-add-to : CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, or FCFLAGS
+#    - $2 add-value-if-not-found : nothing
+#    - $3 action-if-found : add value to shellvariable
+#    - $4 action-if-not-found : nothing

+dnl  implementation tactics:
+dnl   the for-argument contains a list of options. The first part of
+dnl   these does only exist to detect the compiler - usually it is
+dnl   a global option to enable -ansi or -extrawarnings. All other
+dnl   compilers will fail about it. That was needed since a lot of
+dnl   compilers will give false positives for some option-syntax
+dnl   like -Woption or -Xoption as they think of it is a pass-through
+dnl   to later compile stages or something. The "%" is used as a
+dnl   delimiter. A non-option comment can be given after "%%" marks
+dnl   which will be shown but not added to the respective C/CXXFLAGS.
