Which file would you move and why?
I propose to group the auxiliary files that belong to the macro "AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR" into their own subdirectory. Would you like to support a clearer file hierarchy?
What would we gain from this extra quoting? For example, what is the advantage of
AC_MSG_RESULT([quick]) over AC_MSG_RESULT(quick) ?
It ensures that the given strings are not interpreted by the M4 processor as macro names. I suggest to be more explicit where an additional level of macro expansion will not be required. http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/html_node/Quotation-and-Nested-M... http://autogen.sourceforge.net/acquoting.html
Your patch seems also to suggest that `dnl' is a better comment delimiter than `#'. Is this the case?
This key word has got the effect that some lines will not be copied to the generated configure script.
