For the record, autoconf itself is one of those tools that blindly assumes it can add a <> wrapper around PACKAGE_BUGREPORT. Run './configure --help | tail' to see what Ralf was talking about.
Now, autoconf can probably be taught to omit <> wrappers if PACKAGE_BUGREPORT already included some; patches welcome.
