I'm coming back to this problem after trying to write something down.
I think there aren't catch-all solutions for the moment, all that can be done
is extending a bit the autoconf documentation with respect to these macros,
maybe adding a few examples for the most common use cases.
Please take a look at the patch below and say what you think.
Note: as you can see, the patch assumes there will be a solution for the
"AC_REQUIRE in shell conditional" issue.
