Calling AC_DEFINE (etc) causes the variables to be set for autoconf.
After ./configure runs, you should see them in config.status. eg:

     s,@CACHE_HTTP_PORT@,3128,;t t

config.status does the substitutions from Makefile.in to Makefile.
for example:

     $ sh config.status
     ...
     config.status: creating src/Makefile

So in src/Makefile.in you have:

     DEFAULT_HTTP_PORT = @CACHE_HTTP_PORT@

While in src/Makefile you have:

     DEFAULT_HTTP_PORT = 3128

Our src/Makefile (but you must edit src/Makefile.am of course) has
a long-ish sed commands to do very similar substitutions on the
cf.data.pre file:

     cf.data: cf.data.pre Makefile
         sed "\
         s%@DEFAULT_HTTP_PORT@%$(DEFAULT_HTTP_PORT)%g;\
         s%@DEFAULT_ICP_PORT@%$(DEFAULT_ICP_PORT)%g;\
         ...

So if you want to add your own macro goop you have to (at least):

    - modify configure.in (if you want it to be set via ./configure)
    - modify src/Makefile.am
    - run bootstrap.sh (Makefile.am -> Makefile.in)
    - modify the sed command in the cf.data target of src/Makefile
    - modify cf.data.pre to use the new macro
    - run ./configure and test it..
