apologies if it comes across that way.  i'm just (in my view) stating
facts (they're deprecated) and that alone is sufficient justification.

as stated in the original patch: it's an obsolete macro, and there's a
not-obsolete replacement.  seems like we should always merge this sort
of thing ?

aclocal only uses AS_HELP_STRING that i can see.  where are you seeing
use of that AC variant ?

on a somewhat related note, i can't help but feel like we should switch
to using aclocal to manage aclocal.m4 too.  splitting it up into sep m4
files under m4/ should help with the gnarliness of the language ?
