If you're interested, there is
  info Autoconf "Coding Style"

to look at.

One more thing I forgot to mention: your macro executes a host binary,
which won't work when cross-compiling.  Luckily (or on purpose?) it will
choose the pessimistic default in that case.  It may be useful to
document this.
