Actually it's XEmacs that is wrong I think.  A friend of mine who also
used SuperCite + BBDB + Gnus + Emacs recently moved to XEmacs and
suddenly faced the same failures.

Thanks for explaining.

I am now convinced, and I understand better the point of this patch.
I also understand `.gnu' is better than `.ac', since only the
interface matters, and this interface is dictated by the GNU coding
standards, not by the Autoconf CS.

So I'm now in favor of this patch with one regret though: it's lacking
the documentation part.  If this goes into Autoconf, it should be
displayed (even in NEWS actually).
