Is it an error, or is it just a warning? I saw this when distchecking,
but since things worked fine anyways, I decided to keep on going
and deal with it later.

I believe that autoconf-2.13 can't handle the @ in here, but 2.5x
can. I'm planning to go to 2.5x for distcheck in the near future, so
if the problem doesn't occur there, I'm not sure that it's worth
trying to figure out how to fix this.
