One approach to prefixing everything in config.h is

  http://www.gnu.org/software/ac-archive/htmldoc/ac_prefix_config_h.html

Seems slightly excessive to me, since public headers probably need
relatively little of a typical config.h.  But covering the whole thing
makes life easier I guess.

Not unless it's also in a cache variable or something.  In the case of
AC_HEADER_TIME that's $ac_cv_header_time.  (Not sure if that variable
is actually documented.  It follows the _cv_ convention though, so
ought to be reasonably stable.)
