Re: AH_VERBATIM isn't really verbatim with backslashes (autoconf 2.49c)

[Akim Demaille]

| Given the following configure.ac file:
|   AC_INIT(configure.ac)
|   AC_CONFIG_HEADER(config.h)
|   AH_VERBATIM([BACKSLASH], [#define BACKSLASH '\\'])
| 
| The command "autoheader" generates a config.h.in file like this:
| 
|   /* config.h.in.  Generated automatically from configure.ac by autoheader.  
*/
| 
|   #define BACKSLASH '\'
| 
| Apparently AH_VERBATIM isn't really verbatim: it turned two
| backslashes into one.  This isn't documented anywhere that I can see;
| is it intended?

Hm, I had not realized it was a different issue :(

I really don't know what to do, it has not been specified.  You tell
me...  There should be at least $var expansion in there.  IMHO.
