Autoconf can handle this in either the source or the config file at
configure time. Thus, I don't see any reason for it not to be in the
config file if that is preferred.

To have autoconf process a file, you just need to create a <foo>.in
and tell autoconf to create <foo> in configure.in.

Of course, the defaults on linux would be different yet:

#define DEFAULT_PARALLEL "/dev/parport0"
#define DEFAULT_SERIAL   "/dev/ttyS0"

The configure script would need to search for the various dev files or
figure out some way of determining which host system it is running on
(uname maybe for *nix?).
