this seems to work. what do you think of this patch ?
Ooh, I didn't expect a new macro, but why not. Looks good to me.
i tried to implement multiple macro support, but i couldn't get m4_foreach to
play nicely with quoting (m4 quoting rules make my head hurt).
it also kind of sucks in that we're adding a dependency on another ax file, but
maybe that's not a big deal ? it'll get found automatically for people who
are running against the whole archive ...
That is true, but if you run against the whole archive the AC_REQUIRE
wasn't needed in the first place. You've moved the error from having an
unexpanded AX_FOO to have an unexpanded AX_REQUIRE_DEFINED. But on the
good side is that once the ax_require_defined has been copied into 'm4/'
one should be fine, in contrast to before when one got a new file to
miss out on for every macro one added to one's project.

At first read I was confused whether the configure script emits a
non-fatal message with AX_REQUIRED or without. Perhaps this is clearer:
