The problem is that CVS autoconf changes the way backquotes are
interpreted, and issues a warning (even though it works correctly) in
case they're written the way it used to work with autoconf 2.13.
Replacing \` with ' is even worse, because then the shell won't
expand the variable within `', as we want it.
The only way to do it so that it works with both autoconf 2.13 and CVS
autoconf, without triggering the warning in CVS autoconf, is this
(from CVS automake's missing.m4):
am_backtick='`'
AC_MSG_WARN([${am_backtick}$VAR' ...])
