** Macros
- AC_CHECK_HEADER/AC_CHECK_HEADERS
These macros now check whether the headers are compilable, i.e., they
compile headers rather than merely preprocess them.

# Check the compiler accepts HEADER-FILE. The INCLUDES are defaulted.
# We are slowly moving to checking headers with the compiler instead
# of the preproc, so that we actually learn about the usability of a
# header instead of its mere presence. But since users are used to
# the old semantics, they check for headers in random order and
# without providing prerequisite headers. This macro implements the
# transition phase, and should be cleaned up latter to use compilation
# only.
#
# If INCLUDES is empty, then check both via the compiler and preproc.
# If the results are different, issue a warning, but keep the preproc
# result.
#
# If INCLUDES is `-', keep only the old semantics.
#
# If INCLUDES is specified and different from `-', then use the new
# semantics only.
