Hello Ralf,

I asked you:

you did it.  Though I'm not going to use it directly, it helped me
co make my mind.  So your work wasn't in vain, though it might seem so.
;-)

This formulation has two problems:

1) Many users would not understand what the "no later" means.
They see the ordering in configure.ac by their own eyes, but they cannot
see the final ordering in configure as clearly as we do.

2) Though there are sometimes reasons to call AC_CONFIG_FOOS
from AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_PRE, it's not usual.  So we shouldn't mention
AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS_PRE here.

I modified your latest doc patch, merged it with the previous one, and
I'm attaching the result here.

If there are no comments, I'll commit after a few days.

Have a nice day,
        Stepan
