I would like to see support for a "config" subdirectory that would
allow developers to stuff install-sh, config.sub, config.guess aclocal.m4,
acxxxx.m4, etc in one place.

This would require fix to AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIRS so that it searches for
install-sh in not only the directories listed, but a "config" subdirectory
of each one in the list.  Also required is a new macro to implement
include/sinclude in multiple directories.


On another subject ...
I like autoconf.  However, I'm not real crazy about automake.  I have
developed something that provides the functionality of automake but
(1) is coded in M4 and (2) works entirely w/ macros instead of using
perl scripts to look for patterns.  If you folks are interested in this
(I'm calling it metamake), I'd be happy to work on it more and copyleft
it.

Thanks,
Matt
