This fictitious variable should be used when running autoconf, not configure. I wanted to automate this, but retreat for now. autoconf and m4 are really bad tools, they enable to write "Hello, world", but nothing more. I may implement this for autoconf-2.53, but this is so inconsistent (in some places you must use ifelse, in some m4_ifelse) and does not work with older autoconf and requires removing autom4te*.cache every time that I am disappointed. BTW, I can now workaround this substr expansion bug by replacing substr and len with m4_substr and m4_len, but this does not work with 2.13. So, please for now try to do with configure.in what you suggested above. Regards, Mikhael. -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL:http://www.fvwm.org/>.
