Do you have an idea how to make the former work? The whole autoconf
getup doesn't really seem to support generating two files for a
test. I've looked a bit around and it seems like it'd be a fair amount
of effort to do it solely in autoconf.
The easiest seems to be to just have a header for the test in the
sourcetree, but that seems fairly ugly...
