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.
