After initially thinking, sure, why not do it their way, my second reaction
is: stop telling me what to do!  I'm perfectly happy with the current way we
do it; with our AC_DEFINE's scattered far and wide in the configure script
it's kinda nice having them nicely organized in acconfig.h (was
plConfig.h.in).  I dunno, maybe I'll look at the docs, but then again maybe
I'll switch to modified versions of AC_DEFINE* that shut up this irritating
message.
