+dnl @synopsis AC_DEFINE_DIR(VARNAME, DIR [, DESCRIPTION])
+dnl
+dnl This macro sets VARNAME to the expansion of the DIR variable,
+dnl taking care of fixing up ${prefix} and such.
+dnl
+dnl VARNAME is then offered as both an output variable and a C
+dnl preprocessor symbol.
+dnl
+dnl Example:
+dnl
+dnl    AC_DEFINE_DIR([DATADIR], [datadir], [Where data are placed to.])
