There is actually quite nice array-like support in m4, just take a look
here:
http://www.gnu.org/software/hello/manual/autoconf/Looping-constructs.html#Looping-constructs
m4 macros are expanded at autoreconf time, shell arrays are used at
configure time, so make sure whether you can use those handy m4 macros.
