Hi,
I use aclocal on Solaris boxes at uni, and it is very useful for me
to be able to add an include path to aclocal, without having to use
-I all the time. This is because the boxes don't have stuff like
libtool installed, and so the AM_PROG_LIBTOOL macro isn't in the
default include directory, so I've had to install it in my home
directory. I've hacked libtool to read extra include paths from the
ACPATH variable.
I don't think I've sent this patch before (I made it ages ago), so
do you want to include this in upstream automake? It would be a
useful addition, IMHO ... the patch is against the latest CVS
automake.
Thanks,
Timshel
