The Autoconf test suite is filter in two different places: once to
avoid testing all the macros, since some of them are already run by
other tests etc., and once to check that the configure scripts do stay
within their name space (it does think by saving the env, and
comparing it later, filteri

Yup, that's right. Alternation is not portable for sed.

Does this apply to egrep too?
If it does, we can always use two egreps,

In fact I've thought all the RE engines were the same, so a failing

Yep, I had thought of that. But if we can make egrep work, m4 is
overkill.
