It's nice that autoconf's --macrodir and automake's --amdir let you specify alternate directories to load files from. Unfortunately, when automake calls libtoolize, it appears that there's no way for it to tell libtoolize to use a different pkgdatadir or aclocaldir. One approach would be to add --acdir and --ltdir command-line arguments to both libtoolize and automake, and make automake pass these on to libtoolize. (I will be happy to send patches if this seems reasonable.) Is there a better approach? --Rusty
