Resurrecting the old thread "Add ACLOCAL_PATH to aclocal"; references:

I really want the ACLOCAL_PATH feature to end up in 1.11.2, which I hope we
will be able to release in a few weeks. The test cases I've added should
IMHO ough to show that the new feature is solid enough and interacts nicely
with the pre-existing aclocal features. The documentation could probably
be improved, but that can easily be done at a later moment.
I'll push the attached patch in 72 hours if there is no review by then.
Paolo, since it's you who have written the previous version of this patch,
from which I've drawn heavily, are you ok to be listed as the main author
in the ChangeLog entry, and in the "Author" field of the git commit?
