if he can't do better than that, he's just being rude.

Autoheader Macros
-----------------
`autoheader' scans `configure.ac' and figures out which C
preprocessor symbols it might define. It knows how to generate
templates for symbols defined by `AC_CHECK_HEADERS', `AC_CHECK_FUNCS'
etc., but if you `AC_DEFINE' any additional symbol, you must define a
template for it. If there are missing templates, `autoheader' fails
with an error message.
The simplest way to create a template for a SYMBOL is to supply the
DESCRIPTION argument to an `AC_DEFINE(SYMBOL)'; see *Note Defining
Symbols::. You may also use one of the following macros.
