Didn't you mean to write "configure.ac"? ;-)

Among other things, AFAIK configuration hard-coded in the s&m files
will conflict with the information that appears in Installation, which
I think is a killer argument for doing this in configure.ac.  (If
that's not true, it's a matter of taste, and I won't push it.)
