I don't offhand know how to suppress the #undef's, but can't you
do something like this?

myconfig.h:
#include "config.h"
static char const my_PACKAGE[] = PACKAGE;

and then use "myconfig.h" and my_PACKAGE in the rest of your source?

There is a style of C++ that prefers not to use the C preprocessor at
all; is that what's going on here?  If so, it seems to me that you'd
need to modify Autoconf quite a bit.
