Right. By default these macros are put into the build system, but you
can tell configure to store them in acconfig.hpp by using the
--disable-shared-acconfig option. (Sharing in this context refers to
building multiple build variants out of a single development environment
(and thus, set of VSIPL++ header files).

Great, thanks for letting us know !
