    Common macros were moved from mhas_config.h to config.h (it is not insta=
 lled).
    Do you still want to remove MUTILS_USE_MHASH_CONFIG definition from mhas=
 h.h?
 
 Urgh.  I was mistaken in my original report -- the header files really
 do use the information derived from autoconf.  Bletch.
 
 I wonder how other autoconf'd software deals with this.  Very little
 actually installs config.h files into the system include directories.
