I believe that this check is good for all packages using aclocal.
So it would be better if the check would not depend on AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE.

Could the check be executed directly in aclocal.m4, so that it wouldn't be
part of any macro definition?  Is that what you meant?

(I second Noah's excitement about this.  Thanks!)

Have a nice day,
