Is there/should there be a switch to allow/disallow the deprecated macros? I would think that the deprecated macros would be error and abort by default unless a switch --allow-deprecated (or what ever) be given. This would help to clean up the configure.in scripts that still use them but would allow the user to use them if wanted.
