sure there is, use a second parameter to AC_CONFIG_HEADERS, e.g.:

AC_CONFIG_HEADERS([config.h],
  [mv config.h config.hx &&
    sed '/\/\*/,/\*\//s/^/!/' config.hx >config.h &&
    rm config.hx])

(not tested, sorry)

The option -i to sed is GNU-specific, so I replaced it to increase
portability.  And I changed the sed cmd to adapt for comments which
span more than two lines.

Have a nice day,
