Shouldn't the code be added to acinclude.m4 and not aclocal.m4? If we put it 
in aclocal.m4 we have to manually put it back in every time we have run 
aclocal, if I understand it correctly.
Ok, that won't be a problem if it makes it into the official autoconf, but 
that is first at some point in the future.
