I'm using 2.54 ATM, and I did notice that I now need considerably fewer
['s and ]'s to make them appear. I recall having to write something crazy
like [[[[[default=/foo]]]]] up to 2.53 or so.
AC_ARG_ENABLE(dvchome,
AC_HELP_STRING([--enable-dvchome=DIR],
[specify home directory of user dvc
[[default=/home/dvc]]]),
DVCHOME=$enableval,
DVCHOME=/home/dvc)
Aargh, I guess I'll have to read up on the proper quoting rules some day...
