We _have_ to stop using the old compatibility scheme that tried to
avoid useless backslashes because Libtool 1.4.3 contains a
AC_DEFINE([error_t], [int],
[Define to a type to use for `error_t' if it is not
otherwise available.])
We _have_ to quote the single quote and backslashes with . The
old compatibility scheme saw that ` was backslashed, and therefore
did not quote the single quote. Hence before this patch, Autoconf
was not compatible with Libtool.
