I'll sound off [yet again] with my usual objection:
I see no reason why there can't be a generalized header file generator in
autoconf. i.e., one that *is* suitable for installing. There's already
heavy machinery in autoconf to generate .h files (e.g.: not overwriting it
if it stayed the same between configure runs, switching between #define
and #undef, etc.).
For those of us who need to make publicly-installable header files, why
can't we use the same mechanisms instead of having to roll our own?
AC_CREATE_PREFIX_CONFIG_H is not an option for me.
