+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+# AX_CFLAGS_GCC_OPTION (optionflag [,[shellvar][,[A][,[NA]]])
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+# AX_CFLAGS_GCC_OPTION(-fvomit-frame) would show a message as like
+# "checking CFLAGS for gcc -fvomit-frame ... yes" and adds the optionflag
+# to CFLAGS if it is understood. You can override the shellvar-default of
+# CFLAGS of course. The order of arguments stems from the explicit macros
+# like AX_CFLAGS_WARN_ALL.
+#
+# The cousin AX_CXXFLAGS_GCC_OPTION would check for an option to add to
+# CXXFLAGS - and it uses the autoconf setup for C++ instead of C (since it
+# is possible to use different compilers for C and C++).
+#
+# The macro is a lot simpler than any special AX_CFLAGS_* macro (or
+# ac_cxx_rtti.m4 macro) but allows to check for arbitrary options.
+# However, if you use this macro in a few places, it would be great if you
+# would make up a new function-macro and submit it to the ac-archive.
+#
+# - $1 option-to-check-for : required ("-option" as non-value)
+# - $2 shell-variable-to-add-to : CFLAGS (or CXXFLAGS in the other case)
+# - $3 action-if-found : add value to shellvariable
+# - $4 action-if-not-found : nothing
+#
+# Note: in earlier versions, $1-$2 were swapped. We try to detect the
+# situation and accept a $2=~/-/ as being the old option-to-check-for.
+#
+# There are other variants that emerged from the original macro variant
+# which did just test an option to be possibly added. However, some
+# compilers accept an option silently, or possibly for just another option
+# that was not intended. Therefore, we have to do a generic test for a
+# compiler family. For gcc we check "-pedantic" being accepted which is
+# also understood by compilers who just want to be compatible with gcc
+# even when not being made from gcc sources.
+#
+# See also: AX_CFLAGS_SUN_OPTION, AX_CFLAGS_HPUX_OPTION,
+# AX_CFLAGS_AIX_OPTION, and AX_CFLAGS_IRIX_OPTION.
