Or both, for bugward compatibility.
I just ran a grep for all occurrences of AC_TRY_EVAL outside of aclocal.m4, and the only places it cropped up - among the (almost 5000) package sources we maintain at work - is in libtool.m4. I think we can safely drop AC_TRY_EVAL without too much ceremony, although we'll need something (better!) for Automake and Libtool to use instead, as you say. Cheers, -- Gary V.
