On Mac OS X, the "Homebrew" build system (one of the three main ones)
has its m4 macro directory placed in a user configurable location.
This patch adds a simple way to pass this configuration information to
aclocal, using an environment variable called ACLOCAL_FLAGS. This allows
the packaging of libvirt into the Homebrew build system.
ie:
$ export ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I /path/to/m4/macro/dir/"

Although this patch works, I'm kind of expecting Eric will have a better way
of achieving what this is trying to do, so this will get NACKed. No stress. :)
