Attached you can find a patch for helix-dbus-server that implements the
following changes:
- Remove AS_AC_EXPAND. This macro is broken by design, violates GNU coding
standards[1], is incompatible with autoconf >= 2.60[2], and, even worse,
helix-dbus-server doesn't actually use it, so it is dead code that should be
removed.
- Remove code from configure.ac that more or less emulates AS_AC_EXPAND, for
the same reasons, and because it is completely unnecessary because the
variables are used from shell code only and therefore don't need to be
expanded. The shell can do that at runtime.
