there is a surprising number of useful macros in the largely unknown
autoconf-archive package. i tend to browse that when i need something
new to see if someone hasnt already coded up what i wanted.

downside is that the quality can sometimes vary significantly across
macros. so a review of the code you're importing should be done
(ignoring the general aspect of this statement). upside is that the
maintainer is usually pretty responsive in merging changes.
