Yes, I suggest:
--- README-alpha 05 Apr 2007 12:51:00 +0200 1.10

You can track the CVS process through the <address@hidden>
mailing list. This is a medium volume moderated list.

+Daily snapshots built from CVS are available from:

Sure.

acinclude.m4 is deprecated according to the Automake manual:
,----
| The contents of `acinclude.m4', if this file exists, are also
| automatically included in `aclocal.m4'. We recommend against using
| `acinclude.m4' in new packages (*note Local Macros::).
| ...
| The first possibility (the historical practice) is to list all your
| macros in `acinclude.m4'. This file will be included in `aclocal.m4'
| when you run `aclocal', and its macro(s) will henceforth be visible to
| `autoconf'. However if it contains numerous macros, it will rapidly
| become difficult to maintain, and it will be almost impossible to share
| macros between packages.
|
| The second possibility, which we do recommend, is to write each macro
| in its own file and gather all these files in a directory. This
| directory is usually called `m4/'. To build `aclocal.m4', one should
| therefore instruct `aclocal' to scan `m4/'. From the command line,
| this is done with `aclocal -I m4'. The top-level `Makefile.am' should
| also be updated to define
|
`----
I don't volunteer to move what's in acinclude.m4 today to m4/ right
now, but it seems that putting files in m4/ is the recommended
approach.
If you are worried about collisions with gnulib's *.m4, those files
can be placed elsewhere and a --m4-base parameter or some
bootstrap.conf additions could be used.
