I'm getting ahead of myself today. Autoconf has AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIRS as an internal macro, but no AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS. I was mislead by the fact that our existing libtool test doesn't use AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR in the first place; so the first step is to improve the testsuite. Meanwhile, the name AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS is free for the taking. -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
