Underquoted - you should quote invocations of AS_HELP_STRING when used as
arguments to another macro.

|
| For example like this (untested):
|
| AC_ARG_WITH([module],
|           [AS_HELP_STRING([--with-module-ID=PATH,PRIORITY,SHARE[[,COMMAND
LINE]]],
|                           [add a module])])

Yes, that will work in 2.62 (which I tried to release yesterday, but we're
still sorting out upload permissions).  But it won't work in 2.61 or
earlier, because of a bug in earlier autoconf that underquoted the
AS_HELP_STRING arguments.

Yes, that will work across multiple Autoconf versions.

Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
