What is this limit? I can edit text files with 10000 characters per line
in every editor.
Adding newlines and backslashes to an AC_SUBSTed value limits its use: It
can only be used in particular places of Makefiles.
If the line limit is a problem, I'd prefer to first move the unconditional
AC_LIBOBJs to the module description. They represent more than half of
gnulib's AC_LIBOBJ invocations.
