To support the --extra-verbose option


dnl Redefine AC_DEFINE* to provide more output if extra_verbose
dnl Set VARIABLE to VALUE, verbatim, or 1.
dnl AC_DEFINE(VARIABLE [, VALUE])
define([AC_DEFINE],
[{ test "$extra_verbose" = "yes" && cat << \EOF
    Defining $1[]ifelse($#, 2, [ = $2],)
EOF
cat >> confdefs.h <<\EOF
[#define] $1 ifelse($#, 2, [$2], 1)
EOF
}
])dnl AC_DEFINE


XEmacs also modifies several of the other basic autoconf macros, to
disable the _evil_ cache.
