No, you shouldn't. You should write your aclocal.m4 in a manner which keeps the inclusion of any m4 source file it requires where it belongs -- under your control. You should not have to rely on an automated tool which can automatically pull in all sorts of garbage, from any possibly inappropriate source. Just my 2p; you are welcome to a contrary POV :-) Cheers, Keith. _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
