Yes, exactly for backward compatibility.

A patch that rewrites the uses that also provides this same
compatibility would probably be good in order to avoid the warnings.
It could define AS_HELP_STRING suitably if it were not defined yet,
and contain a comment to remove the define once we assume new enough
Autoconf.
