autoconf and STL

[David Boreham]

Apologies if this is a stupid question. I _have_ done
a few days of fruitless searching already...

So, I want to use autoconf/automake for a C++
application that uses the STL. For example I'd like
to be able to track down the libraries in various places.
I'd also like to be able to build on Unixen with
stlport, or on Cygwin using the MS compiler and STL.

What are my options ? I've taken a look at
Open Office, which seems to use its own macros
for STL. I also found this:

If there's a 'better' solution other than writing something
myself, I'd be glad to hear about it.

Thank you.
