This is probably a better kludge:

http://ac-archive.sf.net/Miscellaneous/ac_create_prefix_config_h.html

You run the AC_CREATE_PREFIX_CONFIG_H after AC_OUTPUT(...).
You will now have a file named, ``$project-config.h''.
Use these project-name prefixed defines in your code and
you can go ahead and install $project-config.h.
