Installable config.h files |

Hi all,
Ever since reading the hack for working around the problem of how you install
autoconf generated config.h files in the GNU Autoconf, Automake, Libtool
book, I have thought that there must be a better way to do it.
To this end, I have hacked up some macros that allow you to do this a
better way. The basic idea is to write a config.h.in template that is then
selectively preprocessed to generate a config.h that can be installed.
It's not perfect, but it seems to work. The macro header comment gives a
pretty good explanation of the motivation, how it works and what the
limitations are.
I have only given this a limited test wrt to different platforms, but as
the majority of this is sed code, and SUN's sed is pretty unforgiving it
should be portable. The code also relies on a couple of autoconf
internals (AC_LIST_HEADERS, filename to create is $ac_dest) but nothing too
scary.
I'd appreciate any comments.
Cheers.
