Isn't "sleep 10" portable?
Maybe better use AC_MSG_ERROR unless some --disable-error-xyz is given?
I'm afraid in most cases configure warnings are ignored anyway,
as long as make install works, so I think best to compile-in the
state of all affecting options and show them e.g. in ./myprg --version
and require this as mandatory information in bug reports.
