Public header files

[Jef Driesen]

Hi,

How do I get information generated by autotools into my public header 
files? For instance I want to define version numbers somewhere in my 
configure.ac file, and have the same numbers appear in a public header 
file without having to modify both files manually? Another example is 
that my library needs a 64bit integer type for its public api.

Since a config.h header files is not supposed to be public, that's not 
an option. But how can I do this correctly?

Thanks,

Jef
