*autoconf
** All macros names should contain the XIPH_ prefix, and otherwise follow the [http://web.archive.org/web/20040329014543/http://www.gnu.org/manual/autoconf/html_chapter/autoconf_9.html#SEC107 autoconf naming conventions] where applicable
** m4 files defining internal macros (that is, those which won't be installed on user's machines) should be prefixed with xiph_ (eg xiph_compiler.m4)
** macros should prefix shell variables local to themselves with xt_ (eg xt_save_CFLAGS) to avoid namespace pollution. Shell variables exported by a macro should be capitalised (eg SHOUT_LIBS)
