+dnl When the build environment ($build_os) is different from the target runtime
+dnl environment ($host_os), file names may need to be converted from the build
+dnl environment syntax to the target runtime environment syntax. This is
+dnl because the Makefiles are executed (mostly) by build environment tools and
+dnl therefore expect file names in build environment syntax, whereas the runtime
+dnl expects file names in target runtime environment syntax.
+dnl
+dnl For example, if $build_os = cygwin and $host_os = mingw32, filenames need
+dnl be converted from Cygwin syntax to native Windows syntax:
+dnl /cygdrive/c/foo/bar -> C:\foo\bar
+dnl /usr/local/share -> C:\cygwin64\usr\local\share
+dnl
+dnl gl_BUILD_TO_HOST([somedir])
+dnl This macro takes as input an AC_SUBSTed variable 'somedir', which must
+dnl already have its final value assigned, and produces two additional
+dnl AC_SUBSTed variables 'somedir_c' and 'somedir_c_make', that designate the
+dnl same file name value, just in different syntax:
+dnl - somedir_c is the file name in target runtime environment syntax,
+dnl as a C string (starting and ending with a double-quote,
+dnl and with escaped backslashes and double-quotes in
+dnl between).
+dnl - somedir_c_make is the same thing, escaped for use in a Makefile.
