yes, use the shell builtin `eval'. The following macro can serve as an
example:
http://www.gnu.org/software/ac-archive/ac_define_dir.html
So you can do this in your configure.ac:
m4_define([DIR_EXISTS],
[prefix_NONE= exec_prefix_NONE=
test "x$prefix" = xNONE && prefix_NONE=yes && prefix=$ac_default_prefix
test "x$exec_prefix" = xNONE && exec_prefix_NONE=yes && exec_prefix=$prefix
eval ac_define_dir="\"$1\""
test "$prefix_NONE" && prefix=NONE
test "$exec_prefix_NONE" && exec_prefix=NONE
test -d "$ac_define_dir" dnl
])dnl
And call it as
DIR_EXISTS($includedir) && CPPFLAGS="-I$includedir $CPPFLAGS"
or
AC_MSG_CHECKING([for headers directory])
if DIR_EXISTS($includedir); then
CPPFLAGS="-I$includedir $CPPFLAGS"
AC_MSG_RESULT($includedir)
else
AC_MSG_RESULT(none)
fi
I noticed several slight problems in your code:
> enableval="yes"
...
> if test "$enableval" = "yes" ; then
You should use enable_search_prefix in both cases.
`enableval' is available only in the code given as arguments to
AC_ARG_ENABLE, and even if you set it, enable_search_prefix will
remain unset.

...
> AC_MSG_RESULT([yes])
I believe you are too verbose here. Determining the value of one variable,
moreless directly set by the user, doesn't qualify as a `check' in my eyes.
