aclocal.m4 is just a set of macro definitions that are used by 
configure.in, so the syntax is more or less the same.

You could possibly write a macro in aclocal.m4 (or copy it from the GDAL 
configure) and call if from configure.in. If you could open a bug 
pointing to the relevant parts of GDAL's configure scripts then I could 
have a look and see ifI could port it to MapServer's configure.in.
