# 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.
