I don't quite see how maintaining one big file is better than (giving the
option of) maintaining several small files.
At one point there was an AC_INCLUDE macro, I liked that very much (in
concept anyway). Everything else is just too failure prone and confusing,
IMHO. Think about it: How would you feel if the C compiler automatically
looked around for files containing definitions/declarations of the
functions your program uses. Every compiler-like tool uses some sort of
include or import command, I don't see why Autoconf has to invent new
wheels.
