Hi John, > In the autoconf manual in Chapter 3, page 5 it states: > > ...

I was under the impression > that you were supposed to write project-specific macro in a file called > acinclude.m4 (which the manual doesn't mention at all). I was recently puzzling over this very question myself. In the end I just created acsite.m4 and put the macro there. It seemed to work fine for me, but more experienced users likely will have a better answer.
