Grr... it's in autoheader:

| # Preach. 
| my $config_h_top = find_file ("config.h.top?", 
|                               reverse (@prepend_include), @include); 
| my $config_h_bot = find_file ("config.h.bot?", 
|                               reverse (@prepend_include), @include); 
| my $acconfig_h = find_file ("acconfig.h?", 
|                             reverse (@prepend_include), @include); 
| if ($config_h_top || $config_h_bot || $acconfig_h) 
      ^ here need to add "$IF_I_FEEL_LIKE_BEING_PREACHED_TO &&"

|   { 
|     my $msg = << "END"; 
|     Using auxiliary files such as \`acconfig.h\', \`config.h.bot\'

|  
|     Using the third argument of \`AC_DEFINE\' and 
|     \`AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED\' allows to define a template without

|  
|       AC_DEFINE([NEED_MAIN], 1, 
|                 [Define if a function \`main\' is needed.]) 
|
