Akim> So maybe we want to introduce AC_INCLUDE and trace the latter.
Actually I was rather thinking of something that would work with
existing configure.acs: leave m4_include to the user, and use
something else in Autoconf, e.g.
m4_define([m4_include_private], [m4_builtin([include], [$1])])
Probably AC_INCLUDE is cleaner. Dunno.
Akim> OTOH, that's *their* problem. Not ours.
Not sure :) It'll be our problem if we end up wasting our time
handling bug reports about this. It's also our problem if we
give people reasons to stay with older Autotools.

I feared that.

Does this mean Autoconf should use absolute paths?
