Ouch.  While I see why you need more than one translation unit
here, the example seems very unfortunate to me: it's a very ugly
and non-intuitive way of coding IMVHO.  Could you provide a useful
example, i.e. one for which it would make sense to adapt a piece
of intended-to-be-portable software to?

To put it another way: with that example, you did not convince me
of the usefulness.  IME the autoconf developers are less easily
convinced than I am.  :)

Regards,
Ralf
