Re: macros and defmac

| 1) using macro in difinition macro.

| You know that `makeinfo -E' does not work in "Definition macro".  And

|     Note that, due to implementation difficulties, macros are not expanded

Well, this is a major pain in the neck from Texinfo.  I do expect it
to be fixed some day.  Since as of today there is no reason to run
makeinfo -E on autoconf.texi, I don't want to break the documentation
sources.

Why do you run makeinfo -E?
