That would make sense, but there are backward compatibility issues
here, as some GNU programs use AC_FUNC_FNMATCH to test whether a
GNU-compatible fnmatch exists.

Perhaps we should do a gradual transition.  We could add two macros
AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_STD and AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_GNU.  Initially,
AC_FUNC_FNMATCH would have the behavior of AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_GNU, but
with a warning that the behavior will change in a future release.
