That approach seems reasonable to me.

Okay.

Hmmm...

Section 7.1.2 Standard headers

  Each library function is declared in a header, whose contents are made
  available by the #include preprocessing directive. The header declares
  a set of related functions, plus any necessary types and additional
  macros needed to facilitate their use.

  The standard headers are:

    <assert.h>  <locale.h>      <stddef.h>
    <ctype.h>   <math.h>        <stdio.h>
    <errno.h>   <setjmp.h>      <stdlib.h>
    <float.h>   <signal.h>      <string.h>
    <limits.h>  <stdarg.h>      <time.h>

  ...

So, we can probably get rid of the AC_CHECK_HEADERS entries for errno.h
limits.h string.h and move from using varargs.h to using stdarg.h if that
is desirable.

        Enjoy!
