might be useful to have a brief 'syntax' section ... one that covers different
'features' of the m4 language ...
for example, [] are used for quotes and if you try to use "", they are
actually passed through ...
AC_MSG_RESULT([eat me])
AC_MSG_RESULT("eat me")
the second one will actually output the quotes which is often unexpected
behavior for many new autotool hackers
