thank you very much for sharing that code. The patch applied fine and a
"make check" run worked out of the box, too.

Now, I wonder how exactly I'd design a regression test for a given
macro, say ACX_PTHREAD? I can create a small configure.ac script and
write a test/test-acx_pthread.in driver to run that, but how do I verify
whether that macro worked successfully?

Take care,
Peter
