It seems not, and it seems we need another macro name to produce a fixed version of AS_HELP_STRING (both a quoting and a counting error: you can actually get in a comma by adding three sets of [ ], but then using the comma will mess up the counting), to which users will then be able to upgrade to. I suggest using a | instead of a comma, if those are to be alternative values, or using something like --with-HDF5=PREFIX if the argument is to mean that the libraries are in PREFIX/lib, and the headers are in PREFIX/inc.
