Well, that pretty much obliterates my concerns; thanks! It's quite
reasonable to need new conventions for new features, much like C++
(although hopefully with less linking fragility!), but if I understand
correctly that you use the old conventions for lowest-common-denominator
code, there should be no problems for authors and users of numerical
libraries.

Thanks, I'll get autoconf patched.
