I suppose I should have mentioned that <application-version> is a
directory named after the application being autoconfed.  I also should
have called it <package-version>.  So if I have package foo-1.0 then the
cache directory would be one of

/var/tmp/autom4te.cache/foo-1.0
/tmp/autom4te.cache/foo-1.0
./autom4te.cache/foo-1.0
${AUTOM4TE_CACHE_PATH}/foo-1.0
