Subject: [automake-1.9] aclocal problems

Hello Charles,

I'm having problems with the new automake.  I'm getting no aclocal.m4
file as usual and therefore, there are several unexpanded macros from
configure.in which causes autoconf to fail.  It is nice to see that
there are major aclocal bugs handled with this new release, but it
seems that they also introduced new problems.
