You're probably right.  It will take a bit of reorganization, though.
Moving to autoheader2.50 will mean merging options.h and config.h, and
getting rid of acconfig.h.  We could distinguish the user-tweakable defines
by renaming them ADD_FOO, I suppose.  I'm not sure if that would be OK
for non-Unix builds.  Fixing on a recent autoconf would be easier.
