It must have been late when I wrote that - I was obviously wrong about the
two having different semantics, since autoconf/general.m4 simply does
m4_copy([AS_ERROR], [AC_MSG_ERROR]).  There is still the issue of whether
we should document m4sh macros for standalone use in other scripts, but
recommend the AC_MSG variants when writing configure scripts, but without
more consensus, this patch is not ready for primetime yet.
