I use bash most of the time too. But I try not to rely on bashisms.

I wanted to know if they are specific to gnu autoconf or if they
are defined in the POSIX standard. But it seems that autoconf
itself is not covered by the posix standard. Instead autoconf is 
defined by it's implementation (and its version specific bugs ;)

Soo... if you feel like changing it to those macros, go for it.
But I would probably not waste too much time on it.

Where did you find the hint to replace "echo $ECHO_N" by "$as_echo_n"?
