But the current directory is not top_srcdir in all cases. E.g. an include file in one directory might include another. Why is it important to have the current directory in the path? > 2. the directories specified in $AC_MACRO_PATH (if set) That's an environment variable? Are entries separated by ":"?

My own reaction is positive, but I would suggest that you write up the proposal, as a proposed patch to the manual. (Often the documentation is the hardest to write, so perhaps it'll be easier for you if you implement it and then document it. :-)
