Guys, get your ass in gear and release a new version of Autoconf,
please -- so we don't have to live on the bleeding edge.

(Hey, just kidding.) :^}

Hmm, from libtool's ltconfig. Could a host OS identifier be found
somewhere by using "standard" Autoconf features?

I think I copied the idiom from the Autoconf sources, not really
knowing what I did. Lets see.. the same code is at least used in
AC_LIST_MEMBER_OF, in my checkout from the CVS head from 2000-01-12.

(I probably assumed that the ifelse() construct was needed to handle
cases where "$1" = "".)


Thanks for your comments, they are really appreciated.
