Chuck> No problem. Your mods look okay to me.
By the way, there is another modification I'd like to make
before going on vacation: change the ordering of the dirlist
directories wrt the aclocal dir.
I think any directory listed in dirlist should be searched
*after* aclocal-APIVERSION/, for the same reason aclocal/ is
search after aclocal-APIVERSION/ (i.e., do that old Automake
macros listed in these directories doesn't have precendance).
They should also be searched after aclocal/, so that it's
possible to override these "global" macros "locally". As an
example, imagine a user who has installed Automake and Libtool
in his account, and has edited `dirlist' so his copy of aclocal
also uses the macros installed on system-wide (e.e. in
/usr/share/aclocal). Obvisouly the user's local libtool.m4
should be prefered over the system libtool.m4. This is possible
only if dirlist directories are searched after aclocal/.
In summary, I'd like to change the search order to
1. user-supplied directories (-I)
2. aclocal-APIVERSION/
3. aclocal/
4. dirlist directories
instead of
1. user-supplied directories (-I)
2. dirlist directories
3. aclocal-APIVERSION/
4. aclocal/

How about backporting all new features of 1.7 into 1.4? <wink>
