Summary: autoconf-2.5X mods for configure.in

Initial Comment:
Hi.

Here's another patch for configure.in that replaces a
few more obsolete macros ...

AC_CONFIG_HEADER ==> AC_CONFIG_HEADERS
AC_ERROR ==> AC_MSG_ERROR

There are a couple of uses of AC_MSG_RESULT that had
unecessary escaped quotes, so I removed them. These
were pointed out when running "autoconf --warnings=all".

This patch also adds the AC_HELP_STRING macro in most
of the AC_ARG_* macros. This macro is designed to
format the output the configure script presents when
invoked "configure --help". In adding this macro I've
added a few more explicit quotes in some of the
AC_ARG_* macros also. The AC_HELP_STRING macro itself
though is not quoted (unlike nearly every other macro
in autoconf-2.5X) as this is specified by the autoconf
docs.

A couple of places in the patch have "@<:@" and "@:>@".
These are autoconf quadrigraphs that expand to "[' and
"]" in the configure script. I used them so the
"--help" output would retain the square brackets in
places it does currently.
