+dnl Output files that are neither makefiles nor shell scripts probably
+dnl need fully-expanded substitutions, rather than partial expansions
+dnl that include references to other variables. Currently the only
+dnl such item that's needed is an expanded version of libdir, but
+dnl others may be needed someday. NOTE: 'eval' technique only copes
+dnl with one level of indirect reference per expansion; two levels is
+dnl currently enough for libdir, but it's ugly...
+
+dnl First we have to force 'NONE' prefix to be expanded itself.
+dnl For some reason, autoconf 2.13 doesn't do this until AC_OUTPUT,
+dnl which is too late...
