It seems not, and it seems we need another macro name to produce a fixed
version of AS_HELP_STRING (both a quoting and a counting error: you can
actually get in a comma by adding three sets of [ ], but then using the
comma will mess up the counting), to which users will then be able to
upgrade to.
I suggest using a | instead of a comma, if those are to be alternative
values, or using something like --with-HDF5=PREFIX if the argument is to
mean that the libraries are in PREFIX/lib, and the headers are in
PREFIX/inc.
Cheers,
Ralf
