btw, has anyone tried to use a configure script without CONFIG_HEADER ?
Just try it - I remember a time that only -DCONFIG_H was added to the
CFLAGS, now look at what you get today...


here's an example from a very minimal configure.ac

gcc -DPACKAGE_NAME=\"\" -DPACKAGE_TARNAME=\"\" -DPACKAGE_VERSION=\"\"
-DPACKAGE_STRING=\"\" -DPACKAGE_BUGREPORT=\"\" -DPACKAGE=\"xmlg\"
-DVERSION=\"0.1.2\" -DSTDC_HEADERS=1 -DHAVE_SYS_TYPES_H=1
-DHAVE_SYS_STAT_H=1 -DHAVE_STDLIB_H=1 -DHAVE_STRING_H=1 -DHAVE_MEMORY_H=1
-DHAVE_STRINGS_H=1 -DHAVE_INTTYPES_H=1 -DHAVE_STDINT_H=1 -DHAVE_UNISTD_H=1
-DHAVE_DLFCN_H=1 [...]
