AC_CONFIG_LIBOBJ_DIR usage

[Ralf Wildenhues]

Hi there,

Could someone point me to the documentation I am overlooking when trying
to use AC_CONFIG_LIBOBJ_DIR?  Why doesn't the following work and what do
I need to do so it does (using autoconf 2.57, automake 1.7.5b) besides
providing a better strtod?

Regards,
Ralf
