 These macros test for particular system features that packages might
 need or want to use.  If you need to test for a kind of feature that
 none of these macros check for, you can probably do it by calling
 primitive test macros with appropriate arguments ( Writing

    These tests print messages telling the user which feature they're
 checking for, and what they find.  They cache their results for future
 `configure' runs ( Caching Results).
 
    Some of these macros set output variables.   Makefile
 Substitutions, for how to get their values.  The phrase "define NAME"

 definitions into your program.
