I know it's tradition, but I'm not that keen on keeping traditions for
the sake of tradition :)...

: I assume you don't have automake paperwork filed.  Do you?

I believe everything should be in order (I believe I filled out for
Automake and maybe even Libtool when I did it for Autoconf).  Anyways,
the patch should be reworked to use a &canonicalize() sub as Akim
suggested, and it's probably less than 10 lines that will change.
What I'm really wondering about is whether you accept the semantics
of the patch; allowing AC_SUBSTS in for instance library names...
