No one really. Just that for some non-lisp programs (for instance the 
dpp preprocessor), FASL_LIBS has too many things and LIBS in the first 
proposal does the job.

You can remove them. If needed I will resucitate them from CVS. But 
please, in configure.in, do not change "dnl" comments into "#". There is 
no need to make the "configure" file bigger than it currently is. And 
anyways, no one reads the outcome of autoconf.
