That sounds like a reasonable thing to do, but unfortunately autoconf doesn't support it directly. The best workaround I can come up with off the top of my head, is to copy the definition of AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS from the Autoconf source, rename the copy to dw_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS, and define the copy with AC_DEFUN rather than AC_DEFUN_ONCE. It might be helpful to extend Autoconf to provide a non-ONCE version of AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS, so that this kind of hackery wasn't needed.
