Hmm, I use an editor that highlights matching parentheses and brackets,
and search for mismatches; also for macros that call other macros in
their arguments but do not []-quote the arguments.  In your case, it
helped to look at the diff of the generated configure scripts -- some
missing precious variables came from the broken snippet.

All this doesn't explain yet, however, why it worked for you on one
system but not another.  I don't know what caused this.

Cheers,
Ralf
