I think Adam wants a macro, lets call it "AC_ENSURE_INVOKED([MACRO])",
that doesn't do dependencies between macros, but does make a dependency
between having invoked the macro, and the point of the ensurance
macro invokation.  That would have meaning at the top-level.  Is such a
macro desirable?  I don't have a need for it, so I'm just asking...
