Ah, thanks!  Sorry for being dense, but since it takes
tag names as argument, why is it called _LT_LANG?  

How about calling it `LT_SUPPORTED_TAG' or something similar?  I
can supply a patch to rename and document this macro in the
manual, if that sounds OK.  I really think that this interface
should be public, like every other traced macros (at least all
those registered in autom4te.cfg).
