These will of course be part of the "autoshell" API that comes with
Autoconf, and not be just for internal use?  I think I would prefer it
if we used verbose names instead of _X, _E, etc. then.  Maybe also
drop "TEST" and mark the macro name as a predicate in some other way.
I'd also consider including FILE / DIR in the macro name...
