Eh? Quoting autoconf-2.59 documentation: |To create a `configure' script with Autoconf, you need to write an |Autoconf input file `configure.ac' (or `configure.in') and run |`autoconf' on it. If you write your own feature tests to supplement |those that come with Autoconf, you might also write files called |`aclocal.m4' and `acsite.m4'. If I follow this advice, and write `aclocal.m4' myself, then *by definition*, `aclocal.m4' *is* the source!
