yes, at some point that might be necessary.   But from the beginning I 
tried to hide as much as possible from the projects' files, this is why 
there are all those AC_COIN_ macros, and the Makemain.inc files.

I think we can do a number of things first before we need to change 
anything in the individual projects (I hope!!!! ;).

Cheers
