I propose that automake's package install the directory /usr/local/share/aclocal to facilitate local macros, and aclocal is changed to look for macros there automatically. One way to do this is to change line 106 of aclocal to &scan_m4_files ($acdir, @dirlist, "/usr/local/share/aclocal"); ... but there may be better ways.

On my system, it so happens that some more recent Enlightement libraries installed their macro sets into $PREFIX/share/aclocal. These would not be usable to other sources I build unless I modify them to specify "-I /usr/local" to aclocal. That would be a Bad Thing -- the sources shouldn't have to know about system-specific file layout.
