I certainly don't care which fix folks go with as long as my
autoconf's work.  

My only fear is that autoconf *.m4 writers will assume that all the m4
files are in the same directory.  I figure if the original program
author really wants a file in a certain place, its going to be an
uphill battle to install that file in a different directory.
