Subject: aclocal and AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR

[erroneously sent to the `automake' list]

It seems that there are problems if AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR contains more
than a single directory.  Calling

  aclocal -I gnulib/m4 --force -I m4

within the attached bundle causes

  aclocal: error: couldn't open directory 'gnulib/m4 m4':
                  No such file or directory

If I comment out the lines

  AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([gnulib/m4
                       m4])

in `configure.ac' the call succeeds.

PS: Sorry for not sending a minimum example, but I don't have enough
    time to work on that.
