For some reason I've used spaces in that macro (but nowhere else),
but I've long ago forgotten why.  e.g. instead of

    AC_CONFIG_HEADERS([xx])
it's
    AC_CONFIG_HEADERS( [xx] )

This may be just a quirk of the way I typed it, but it's oddly coicidental.
I wouldn't think that it should really make a difference.

OTOH, I don't use those at all at this point, using instead the automake
equivalent (also with spaces, probably because of search/replace):

    AM_CONFIG_HEADER( [xx] )

mm  (Not that I'm an autoconf expert, but why let that stop me)
