That will indeed trace the arguments that ECORE_CHECK_MODULE was called
with (although in this case, it seems like you wanted the expansion that
occurs after that call has completed).

Bingo. You are attempting to mix a shell variable ${want_ecore_win32}
(expanded at ./configure time) with an m4 argument $2 (expanded at
autoconf time). That won't work. You have to make a decision - either
the code is statically determined at autoconf time (in other words, you
pass a literal "yes" or "no" as the second argument), or you have to emit
both option choices and emit a shell conditional (AS_IF or even
if...then...fi) to choose the right code path at configure time. The
reason your code is always selecting the false path is becase
"${want_ecore_win32}" is not identical to "no" during m4 expansion at
autoconf time, and m4 has no way to predict what value that shell variable
will later have at configure time.

Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
