I've been going through it as I went through this work.. thanks for the
improvements.

The curse of reading other peoples code : I got this from a
/usr/share/aclocal/ routine

I'm not quite sure whether you meant indent all of them a certain
amount, or use heirarchical indenting on them..

Oops. misread a comment in the autoconf manual, Thanks.
