   Description
  </h2>
  <div class="indent">
   <p>
    A macro to check the options of nice, in order to have a VERY_NICE variable
    which runs a program at the lowest priority VERY_NICE is undefined if we
    don't find the proper options, so you can safely use:
   </p>
   <pre>
  @VERY_NICE@ mycommand
</pre>
   <p>
    in a shell script.
   </p>
   <p>
    The VERY_NICE variable includes the placeholder NICE_VALUE that you have to
    instantiate at run-time. If you give a argument to AC_VERY_NICE, it will be
    used as an argument of nice for testing and included in VERY_NICE instead
    of the above placeholder.
