I shouldn't be too hard, but it must be done very carefully because a
lot of the future of Autoconf will depend on this feature. Hence I'm
not in favor of doing this now (2.50).
Nevertheless we can imagine a system similar to that of
AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR and its DEFAULT partner: when AC_PROG_CC is called,
it requires _AC_PROG_CC_COMPILERS which defines the list of compilers
to check for. Then AC_PROG_CPP could use this list.
Still, I realize I have not really understood what's going on:
AC_PROG_CC does not require AC_PROG_CPP, on the contrary, it says it
must be run before AC_PROG_CPP.
I'm trying to understand what's going on, and will call you back :)
