Meaning that none of my headers can #inlude "config.h"? That seems
ludicrous to me.

In my current example, I have a header that does this:
#ifdef HAVE_STDINT_H
// The following is a C-99ism...
#ifndef __STDC_LIMIT_MACROS
#define __STDC_LIMIT_MACROS
#include <stdint.h>
#endif
typedef int64_t warped64_t;
typedef int32_t warped32_t;
const warped64_t warped64Max = INT64_MAX;
const warped64_t warped64Min = INT64_MIN;
const warped64_t warped32Max = INT32_MAX;
const warped64_t warped32Min = INT32_MIN;
#elif defined(SIZEOF_LONG_LONG_) // defined in warped-config.h
#include <limits.h>
typedef long long warped64_t;
typedef long warped32_t;
const warped64_t warped64Max = LLONG_MAX;
const warped64_t warped64Min = LLONG_MIN;
const warped64_t warped32Max = LONG_MAX;
const warped64_t warped32Min = LONG_MIN;
#else
#include <limits.h>
typedef long VTimeMajor_t;
typedef long VTimeMinor_t;
const warped64_t warped64Max = LONG_MAX;
const warped64_t warped64Min = LONG_MIN;
const warped64_t warped32Max = LONG_MAX;
const warped64_t warped32Min = LONG_MIN;
#warning Could not find 64 bit type using 32 bit max - NOT recommended.
#endif

So you're saying that I need to not use the "stock-generated" config.h, I
need to filter only the things that really really need to be in there into
a separate file, and then AC_SUBST them into this newly generated file. Is
that a correct summary?

OK, that was one of those things I had wondered about as well :-)
