You are encouraged to put all @code{AC_REQUIRE}s at the beginning of a
macro. You can use @code{dnl} to avoid the empty lines they leave.
The helper macros @code{AS_IF} and @code{AS_CASE} may be used to
enforce expansion of required macros outside of shell conditional
constructs. You are furthermore encouraged to put all @code{AC_REQUIRE}s
at the beginning of a macro. You can use @code{dnl} to avoid the empty
