Hi, people.  I think the `autoconf' script should check aclocal.m4 not
only in $MACRODIR, but also in the current directory, accumulating
both if both exist.  This would permit any product which use non
standard macros to provide an aclocal.m4 file next to configure.in in
the distribution, autoconf would then automatically use it.
