: renaming m4 macros as m4_*, wouldn't it be better to let m4 alone, and use a
: prefix for autoconf itself, like au_* ?

The renamed macros were renamed because they are likely to interfere with
the source code snippets you fill your configure tests with, maybe even the
configure shell script itself.
