in my opinion these autoconf checks are completely overkill: you
are just replacing a macro name with another one, and hiding to the
programmer the (trivial) logic behind that particular choice.

autoconf makes sense for things you cannot do from the preprocessor,
such as passing information back to the Makefile, checking the
location of a file or the availability of a C symbol or the number
of arguments in a function.

For everything else there is MasterCard. Er, i mean cpp
