bash$ find . -name '*.h' | xargs -n64 grep '\<A[A-Z]_' ) | sed -n -e
's/^.*\(\<A[A-Z]_[A-Za-z0-9]*\).*$/\1/p' | sort | uniq 

You'll get about 95 such things, not counting the various make macros like
above... All these are from A[BCFIMPRTUV]; of those we only use for now in
autotools A[CMU]. This reduces the list of exceptions to 6 (AC_C, AC_DENY,
AC_PERMIT, AM_STR, AU_NULL, AU_PVTYPE). 

I know we also use AT_, but that's for autotest, so I'm not sure its useful
for autoconf to check these are all expanded: if they aren't, the test will
fail anyway :-)

So I again have to say that it's to be a bit too picky to reject all
A[AZ]_xxxx identifiers as unexpanded autotool macros.
