Criminy.  Now somebody else is complaining about unexpanded macros from
config/acx.m4, even though

    sinclude(config/acx.m4)

is at the top of configure.in.  I'm not seeing this problem, so I can't
help.  So it looks like my reversion will have to be reverted, leaving
us with the original problem again.  Somebody else wanna give it a shot?
(And explain to me why I'm not seeing it?)
