In general, AC_INIT should always be first.  Over recent releases, I've
tried to make other macros work earlier as well, but the manual documents
that only AC_PREREQ and AC_DEFUN are guaranteed to work prior to AC_INIT
(and anything else in the AC_ namespace is luck of the draw if invoked
before initialization).
