Harumph.  I hate it when I say stupid things in public.

How 'bout a script to turn configh.in into pc/configh.in and then
configure can do AC_SUBSTITUTE on that file also? Would that work?
We then "just" have to take care not nuke pc/config.h if it's there.

Or some such rigamarole.

Let's work on this offline, and start with your sed script.

Thanks,
