+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+# AX_DEFINE_SUB_PATH(DEFNAME, varname, description)
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+# Look at varname and detect the subpath that it contains relative to
+# $prefix/$exec_prefix. If the path is indeed relative to
+# $prefix/$exec_prefix, then a single "./" (dotslash) is prepended,
+# otherwise it can be seen as an absolute path that can not be moved,
+# which you possibly do for "/etc" files, or even those ending up in
+# "/lib/modules" or "/winnt/system".
+#
+# This macro is not very intelligent, it's just a first try in this
+# direction. It does currently just look into the current patterns, and
+# replaces a ${prefix} with a simple dot. Amazingly, it works quite well
+# for most packages.
+#
+# Example (configure.ac):
+#
+# AC_DEFINE_DIR([EPREFIX], [exec_prefix], [--exec-prefix or default])
+# AX_DEFINE_SUB_PATH([PATH_LIBDIR], [libdir], [--bindir subdir])
+# AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED([PACKAGE],"$PACKAGE", [Name of package])
+#
+# Example (in C):
+#
+# static const char _libdir[] = PATH_LIBDIR; /* configure default */
+# char* libdir;
+# char* eprefix = getenv (PACKAGE "DIR");
+# if (! eprefix) eprefix = EPREFIX; /* default */
+# if (*_libdir != '.') libdir = strdup(_libdir);
+# else {
+# libdir = malloc(strlen(eprefix) + strlen(_libdir) + 2);
+# strcpy(libdir, eprefix);
+# strcat(libdir, PATH_DELIMITER_STRING);
+# strcat(libdir, _libdir);
+# }
+# ...
+# free (libdir);
+#
+# The AX_DEFINE_SUB_PATHS(varnames) macro looks for the given various
+# install-paths that largely depend on either ${prefix} or ${exec_prefix}.
+# Just cut out the prefix and ac_define the value. The value is uppercased
+# and PATH_ prepended ie. ax_define_sub_paths(bindir libdir pkgdatadir)
+# will create the defines PATH_BINDIR PATH_LIBDIR PATH_PKGDATADIR - see
+# posix' include/paths.h that creates _PATH_DEV and friends.
