| The current binutils code uses sinclude.  There is one copy of
| acinclude.m4 which is used by several configure.in files.  The
| acinclude.m4 files in the other directories just say
|     sinclude(../bfd/acinclude.m4)
| 
| This could be handled via some sort of option to aclocal to tell it
| where to find acinclude.m4, assuming automake supports that (I haven't
| checked).

I understand the need, I don't understand `sinclude'.  It seems to me
you want `include', not `sinclude'.

| want error messages about non-existent files, `sinclude' can be used to
| include a file, if it exists, expanding to nothing if it does not.

|      include(`no-such-file')
|      =>
|      error-->30.include:2: m4: Cannot open no-such-file: No such file or directory
|      sinclude(`no-such-file')
|      =>
