I want to break up the configure.in scripts for my packages into separate macros for each major test to make it easier to maintain, and I don't want to clutter up the top level of the distribution with all of them. I think there was some general agreement in the past on a subdirectory named "m4" or some similar sort of thing that would be automatically searched by m4_include, whatever it's called, and I'm strongly in favor of that. That sounded great to me. I know this can be simulated with AC_MACRO_PATH, but I think it would be nicer if it were somehow built in. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
