Hi Mike,
the ACLOCAL_PATH functionality is useful (adding search dirs after -I),
but a bit unwieldy as an env var. any reason we can't add a command line
option for this ?
Seems like a fine idea to me.
call it --aclocal-path ? or --extra-system-acdir ?
Reading the doc, my hunch is to call it --aclocal-path and make the
semantics of its argument be exactly the same as $ACLOCAL_PATH. Wdyt?
But if both are set, should the --aclocal-path argument replace
$ACLOCAL_PATH, or augment it (earlier of course)? I'm not sure.
By the way, would it be feasible to have --help show the actual values
for --automake-acdir and --system-acdir? It is far from obvious.
--thanks, karl.
