I was looking back at the ChangeLog when I noticed this:

2000-05-23  Akim Demaille  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        Simplify the interface: users shouldn't need to explicitly check
        for special environments.

        * acspecific.m4 (AC_EXEEXT, AC_OBJEXT): AU defined to
        nothing.  Replace them by...
        (_AC_EXEEXT, _AC_OBJEXT): this.

Does this mean that I should not need to call AC_EXEEXT and AC_OBJEXT
in my configure.in? Calling these two macros by default seems like
a good idea.

Only problem is, when I remove them from my configure.in
my Makefile.in seems to revert back to a non-portable state.
(this file is generated by automake).

Is this a problem that needs to be fixed in automake or am
I just missing something?
