Giving a shell variable to AC_CONFIG_LINKS like this doesn't work in
recent CVS versions of Autoconf:
foo="link:file"
AC_CONFIG_LINKS($foo)
I assume it's because `config_links' is set in config.status by
configure doing
cat >$CONFIG_STATUS <<\EOF
[...]
config_links="\
$foo"
[...]
EOF
Where the backslash in "\EOF" prevents `foo' from being ``expanded''.
Is this on purpose? If so, any ideas on how to work around it? We
build a list of "link:file" pairs in quite an elaborate fashion and
depend on it heavily.
