Recently I have a problem with autoconf/configure.  This is
probably caused by updating the system:

  m4-1.4o-76
  automake-1.4_p5-44
  autoconf-2.52-44

With "./configure --help" I get lines like these for the configure
options that use the smr_SWITCH macro in acinclude.m4:

  --enable-command-log substr(             , 11) enable command logging
  --enable-debug-msgs substr(             , 10) enable debugging messages
  --disable-multipixmap-titles substr(             , 18) disable fancy pixmap ti

The responsible code from acinclude.m4:
  AC_DEFUN(smr_SWITCH, [
    AC_MSG_CHECKING(whether to enable $2)
    AC_ARG_ENABLE(
        $1,
        ifelse($3, on,
            [  --disable-[$1]substr([             ], len([$1])) disable [$2]],
            [  --enable-[$1] substr([             ], len([$1])) enable [$2]]),
  ...

It seems that the substr() m4 macro inside the ifelse() macro is
no longer expanded but taken literally.  I could not find a way to
make the expansion work again.

Bye
