Excellent! An example on how this is supposed to work. Both of these packages have their own config.h files, so that isn't an issue after all. Also, a portion of each file in these packages is mutually exclusive. This didn't turn up in the examples I created. I had considered using AC_CONFIG_LINKS() to remove the multiple config.h files containing what I thought were subsets of each other (Thanks, Tim). I'm new to Autoconf, but I get the impression that a single configure.in wasn't a design goal. The AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS() macro seems to support this. Given the way configure works in this case I don't see a problem with multiple configure.in files.
