+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+# AX_COMPARE_VERSION(VERSION_A, OP, VERSION_B, [ACTION-IF-TRUE], [ACTION-IF-FALSE])
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+# This macro compares two version strings. It is used heavily in the
+# macro _AX_PATH_BDB for library checking. Due to the various number
+# of minor-version numbers that can exist, and the fact that string
+# comparisons are not compatible with numeric comparisons, this is
+# not necessarily trivial to do in a autoconf script. This macro
+# makes doing these comparisons easy.
+#
+# The six basic comparisons are available, as well as checking
+# equality limited to a certain number of minor-version levels.
+#
+# The operator OP determines what type of comparison to do, and can
+# be one of:
+#
+# eq - equal (test A == B)
+# ne - not equal (test A != B)
+# le - less than or equal (test A <= B)
+# ge - greater than or equal (test A >= B)
+# lt - less than (test A < B)
+# gt - greater than (test A > B)
+#
+# Additionally, the eq and ne operator can have a number after it to
+# limit the test to that number of minor versions.
+#
+# eq0 - equal up to the length of the shorter version
+# ne0 - not equal up to the length of the shorter version
+# eqN - equal up to N sub-version levels
+# neN - not equal up to N sub-version levels
+#
+# When the condition is true, shell commands ACTION-IF-TRUE are run,
+# otherwise shell commands ACTION-IF-FALSE are run. The environment
+# variable 'ax_compare_version' is always set to either 'true' or
+# 'false' as well.
+#
+# Examples:
+#
+# AX_COMPARE_VERSION([3.15.7],[lt],[3.15.8])
+# AX_COMPARE_VERSION([3.15],[lt],[3.15.8])
+#
+# would both be true.
+#
+# AX_COMPARE_VERSION([3.15.7],[eq],[3.15.8])
+# AX_COMPARE_VERSION([3.15],[gt],[3.15.8])
+#
+# would both be false.
+#
+# AX_COMPARE_VERSION([3.15.7],[eq2],[3.15.8])
+#
+# would be true because it is only comparing two minor versions.
+#
+# AX_COMPARE_VERSION([3.15.7],[eq0],[3.15])
+#
+# would be true because it is only comparing the lesser number of
+# minor versions of the two values.
+#
+# Note: The characters that separate the version numbers do not
+# matter. An empty string is the same as version 0. OP is evaluated
+# by autoconf, not configure, so must be a string, not a variable.
+#
+# The author would like to acknowledge Guido Draheim whose advice
+# about the m4_case and m4_ifvaln functions make this macro only
+# include the portions necessary to perform the specific comparison
+# specified by the OP argument in the final configure script.
