I didn't realize that the "d" was a prerelease. I will give that one a
try. I'm just glad to know I wasn't going bonkers. FYI, I did try the
AC_PROG_CC as well, but it then wanted to know about rules for files of
naming format "file.c", whereas mine were all "file.cxx", so this also
broke something.

PS: Do people on this list typically prefer replies to both their
address and to the list address? If I just do a reply, it sends to the
individual; what I have been doing is "reply all", then dumping
individual addresses and leaving only the mail list address. Not sure
what people prefer here.
