I have got the impression that the passed value "src/version.h" uses a feature that is currently undocumented for the parameter "package". http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/html_node/Initializing-configure.html Would you like to reuse a solution by Andreas Schwab that was shown in a discussion on the topic "How to dynamically set VERSION for AC_INIT"? http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2007-12/msg00026.html > Might be. But it won't hurt anything if it is. I would prefer to use the documented macro "AC_CONFIG_HEADERS" instead. http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/html_node/Configuration-Headers.html > OK.

A similar key word might be used in header files of the standard C library. http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/html_node/C-Compiler.html > I don't think Bacula can be built with multiple databases defined anyway.

The command "autoscan" points out some update candidates if software developers would like to improve the portability for this software.
