The original plan was that we tested against the architecture. If this
isn't good enough and we need stuff like HAVE_XYZ we should do it
proper and create a config.h with all those defines, to avoid having a
to long compile line. But if I understod Mark, he's going to fix this.

BTW, you must use AC_SUBST(VARIABLE) for autoconf to replace the
@VARIABLE@ in the output files, like I did with ARCH. Or you can put
it into some known autoconf variable like CFLAGS.
