+# NTP_CACHEVERSION(component, version)
+# ------------------------------------
+# compare this configure script's cache version stamp with the stamp
+# saved by the prior run in config.cache. If they differ, clear all
+# cache variables to avoid using results cached with a script that
+# is known to differ in a cache-invalidating manner.
+#
+# Note: use immediately following AC_INIT in configure.ac, as clearing
+# all _cv_ variables only makes sense immediately after loading, before
+# use or modification.
+#
+# It is assumed that parent configure.ac files which use
+# AC_CONFIG_SUBDIR to invoke child configure.ac files have used
+# NTP_CACHEVERSION if any children do. The top-level configure script
+# will clear a previous cache lacking any saved cache version number,
+# while children do not. The reason is the children can rely on the
+# parent having cleared any cache variables predating this mechanism.
+# Therefore the child can rely on the config.cache generated by the
+# parent on the first run despite not finding its version stamp
+# previously saved. In this case top-level means a configure script
+# not invoked by another configure script in its parent directory.
