Excellent! An example on how this is supposed to work.
Both of these packages have their own config.h files, so that isn't an
issue after all.
Also, a portion of each file in these packages is mutually exclusive.
This didn't turn up in the examples I created. I had considered using
AC_CONFIG_LINKS() to remove the multiple config.h files containing what I
thought were subsets of each other (Thanks, Tim).
I'm new to Autoconf, but I get the impression that a single
configure.in wasn't a design goal. The AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS() macro
seems to support this. Given the way configure works in this case I
don't see a problem with multiple configure.in files.
