Thank you for your answer, I had also found out that I could use the shell
syntax AC_CONFIG_FILES([class1.cpp:main.cpp.in])
But the problem is now how to instantiate the variable class_name with
different values. I tried

AC_SUBST(class_name,"class1")
AC_CONFIG_FILES([class1.cpp:main.cpp.in])

AC_SUBST(class_name,"class2")
AC_CONFIG_FILES([class2.cpp:main.cpp.in])

Here both class2.cpp and class1.cpp will be instantiated with the same
value "class2" (i.e. the last AC_SUBST for class_name in the
configure.in file). Is there a way to solve this problem?
