Hmm, this avoids an error, but also sets several things wrong in the
resulting configure script:
$ egrep '(foo-dnl|fo-)' configure
# Generated by GNU Autoconf 2.68 for foo-dnl 1.0.
PACKAGE_NAME='foo-dnl'
PACKAGE_TARNAME='fo--t-o---t-dn--t-l'
PACKAGE_STRING='foo-dnl 1.0'
\`configure' configures foo-dnl 1.0 to adapt to many kinds of systems.
[DATAROOTDIR/doc/fo--t-o---t-dn--t-l]
short | recursive ) echo "Configuration of foo-dnl 1.0:";;
foo-dnl configure 1.0
It was created by foo-dnl $as_me 1.0, which was
PACKAGE='fo--t-o---t-dn--t-l'
This file was extended by foo-dnl $as_me 1.0, which was
foo-dnl config.status 1.0
Bummer. So, back to your patch I guess ...
Cheers,
Ralf
