I think you need to add

Thanks! I knew it was something very simple.

Another question: I thought configure.in was just a shell
script substitute, so I ommitted the "{}".
Also missing brackets around DIET do not disturb autoconf.
Is the follwing OK, or are there any issues (like portability)?

AC_SUBST(DIET, $DIETDIR)

The rule of thumb is to quote. The expansions may cause problems that quoting will avoid. I.E.: It may work this time, but not the next.
