Hm, I might be over picky, but I would have answered no. autoheader
2.13 is including all the paragraphs which are related to something
which is AC_DEFINE'd, which is not necessarily all the content of
acconfig.h.
The main reason for this is that Autoconf's own acconfig.h was huge,
and it would have been wrong to include the whole of it into
config.h.in.
But now it's no longer the case, and actually the machinery to pick up
those paragraphs is not very satisfactory (there's a PR for the
problems it introduces wrt @).
I have a patch which I will submit for CVS Autoconf which includes the
whole localdir's acconfig.h into config.h.in: it simplifies
dramatically the code, and improves its robustness, IMHO.
