In the configure code, sure.  But it is just noise in the invocation.  I
would make the transformation in the implementation of gl_INIT:

m4_patsubsts([$2],
             [source_base=], [gl_\&],
             [m4_base=], [gl_\&],
             ...)

(You can do a better job of pattern matching, and substitute all the variables
from a single alternation match expression, but I can't remember the syntax of
the top of my head).

Cheers,
        Gary.
