Personally, I dislike site directories since they make it a hassle to move my stuff from one site to another. However, I wouldn't object to having a configure-time option for building autoconf, for people who like to have site directories. Unfortunately, I've seen so many proposals in this area that I'm a bit lost as to what's being proposed. For example, I don't understand where the stuff will get cached. I believe you mentioned that it will get cached into aclocal.m4, but won't that collide with Automake's aclocal? > It would also be nice if the autoconf installation let you override > the path of the site macro directory, I think that's essential. Also, I would say that for now there should not be a site macro directory unless the autoconf installer or autoconf user says so. If the feature proves to be popular, we can always change this default.
