 * local Squid-provided helper macros are currently defined in
acinclude.m4

The only improvement we could make to that design is to upgrade to the
style of a folder full of macro files. One macro per file with author
copyright etc attached.

Yes, some chunks of configure.in should be isolated and moved into bundled
macros instead.

 * HUGEOBJECTS was already one such macro. How are you changing things
there?
