I see that Gavin Smith already answered the question you asked, but
GraphicsMagick took a different tact.
I didn't find that to be an "answer" so much as a request for more
clarification.
"Is there a simple autoconf/automake macro that will just stuff the entire
text string the user passed to configure, into a text string or a #define
or something, which can be compiled into the binary". Something I can
inherit in build.h.
I see numerous projects doing this, in various ways. I don't know if
there's a "standard" way, but if there is, I'd like to use it, without
introducing additional code complexity.
In looking at my project, and searching the generated config files,
nothing compileable seems to have those args in it.
I'm nominally not a C coder, I'm just the guy who gets to answer support
tickets and triage bug reports and get users to figure out if they
installed their OS package, how that was set up and compiled.
