+# AC_DEFUN_ONCE([NAME], VALUE)
+# ----------------------------
+# Define NAME to expand to VALUE on the first use (whether by direct
+# expansion, or by AC_REQUIRE), and to nothing on all subsequent uses.
+# Avoid bugs in AC_REQUIRE in Autoconf 2.63 and earlier.  This
+# definition is slower than the version in Autoconf 2.64, because it
+# can only use interfaces that existed since 2.59; but it achieves the
+# same effect.  Quoting is necessary to avoid confusing Automake.
