12.1 Autoconf Background
========================
As explained elsewhere ( The GNU Autoconf Manual (autoconf)Top.),
any package needs configuration at build-time. If your package uses
Guile (or uses a package that in turn uses Guile), you probably need to
know what specific Guile features are available and details about them.
The way to do this is to write feature tests and arrange for their
execution by the `configure' script, typically by adding the tests to
`configure.ac', and running `autoconf' to create `configure'. Users of
your package then run `configure' in the normal way.
Macros are a way to make common feature tests easy to express.
Autoconf provides a wide range of macros ( Existing Tests
(autoconf)Existing Tests.), and Guile installation provides
Guile-specific tests in the areas of: program detection, compilation
flags reporting, and Scheme module checks.
