I don't know enough about m4 macros... can you autogenerate the _save_
stuff?  Is there a case where we -don't- want to do that?  Based on the
way ALSA macros work I think you should add prefixes too, else you clash
with their own saving.  For esd it would be nice to be able to just pass
in 'esd' and do string concat and upcase and so on to get HAVE_LIBESD
and gst_esd_save_* vars.
