Aside: you may want to protect your code against the following
issue described in the GCC manual:

|   * Use of `-I/usr/include' may cause trouble.
|               
|     Many systems come with header files that won't work with GCC unless
|     corrected by `fixincludes'.  The corrected header files go in a new
|     directory; GCC searches this directory before `/usr/include'.  If
|     you use `-I/usr/include', this tells GCC to search `/usr/include'
|     earlier on, before the corrected headers.  The result is that you
|     get the uncorrected header files.

Appart from the `NONE' stuff, is that a problem?  
IIRC autoconf will `eval' any call to ac_cpp and friends.
