Ah, makes sense. Thanks for the explanation Alan.

Silly question but... AM_ZSTD was clearly named after AM_ZLIB. But why
does AM_ZLIB have the "AM" (automake, I suppose) prefix? It doesn't
seem to have anything to do with automake.
Ack about AS_IF, I will try to remember this for top-level configure
code.
