Libtool has some examples, you could peek there, as well as in the Autoconf sources. AC_DEFUN([AC_CHECK_HEADERS], [...]) AU_ALIAS([AC_HAVE_HEADERS], [AC_CHECK_HEADERS]) with '...' being a sensible definition of the AC_CHECK_HEADERS macro, and announcing AC_HAVE_HEADERS as an old macro name that should expand to the contents of the AC_CHECK_HEADERS macro (when autoconf is run), and should replace invocations of AC_HAVE_HEADERS with invocations of AC_CHECK_HEADERS (when autoupdate is run). > Could a brief example please be added to > the docs?
