Exactly. That's why patsubst is not needed.

By the way, I wonder why AT_DATA was expanded in configure.in at all. We
may need to fix it. I'll have a look.

Tell me about your problem :-)
I'll take cl2patch and check how to make it happy.

Nothing failed. I have access to some other modules on the GNU CVS, but
not to Autoconf. I believe you just need to ask address@hidden

By the way, it would be nice if somebody mailed me the policy for commits
(how many approvals are needed and so on) if it exists. Better yet, put it
on the web.
