You could actually use the macro from the macro archive that does just that,
though while configuring.

http://ac-archive.sourceforge.net/Miscellaneous/ax_prefix_config_h.html

That way, you can access each other's configuration if you want to, while
each package uses (_only_) it's own config.h, but may use the other's
prefixed config.h.
