Hmm.  If there were indeed a chance of clashing with things like $@, then
it'd also be present when generating the real 'configure' output.  So I
cannot quite imagine how this would be of concern.

I'm trying to generate Makefile.in snippets, using

autoconf -t 'AC_SUBST:$1 = @$1@' | sort -u

This works OK, except for LIB@&t@OBJS.
