And now I have to persuade clamav folks to use this new macro where they 
even brought down their whole autoconf/libtool setup by overriding the 
most useful macros from aclocal.m4 in acinclude.m4 (some LIBTOOL 
overrides) and creating their own way of AC_CANONICAL_HOST and some more 
goodies???
Well it's still below v1.0, maybe that's why.

I'd better fix it upstream so they'll get it without any notice.
