Sorry about that. I hadn't realised that autoconf support was so patchy. I 
think AS_HELP_STRING started in one of the 2.57 post releases (2.57a, 
perhaps, from the changelogs).

This was my first thought...

...but there might be a better way. Perhaps we could check if AS_HELP_STRING 
is defined, and if not, define it to be AC_HELP_STRING?

My m4 is terrible, but I found a similar construct on the web:
m4_ifdef([AS_HELP_STRING], , [m4_define([AS_HELP_STRING], 
m4_defn([AC_HELP_STRING]))])

Does that help at all?
