-       * minmax.m4 (gl_MINMAX_IN_HEADER): Add comments.
-       Patch from Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>.
+       * minmax.m4: Require autoconf 2.52.
+       (gl_MINMAX_IN_HEADER): Add comments. Use m4_pushdef/m4_popdef instead
+       of define/undefine. Use AS_TR_SH and AS_TR_CPP as more robust
+       alternatives of translit over the alphabet.
+       Based on a patch from Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>.
