Libtool uses it, too. I think it's a really old interface, and even if undocumented, should be assumed to be used. I don't think it is possible to drop it in real-world configure scripts, and it won't speed up real-world examples either. I think a recent report on bug-gnulib shows that even gnulib-tool would need as_me, really. Cheers, Ralf
