There is still the problem that autoconf mixes up variable assignments
and macros.  This is up-to-the-minute CVS autoconf:

        address@hidden configure.in
        AC_INIT

        AM_CFLAGS=foo
        address@hidden 
        configure.in:3: error: undefined macro: AM_CFLAGS
        address@hidden
