Gentoo Linux recently upgraded Courier in their portage system to
version 0.59 (about time!).  Unfortunately, the ebuild fails with an
aclocal error looking for the pcp/m4 directory in the prebuild
configuration.

The prebuild runs 'aclocal -I m4' in courier-0.59.0/pcp and aclocal
responds with 'aclocal-1.10: couldn't open directory `m4': No such file
or directory', and the build fails since this directory is indeed not
there.  I don't know whether this is a Gentoo-specific problem, or
something that needs to be, or can be addressed in the courier-0.59
source.  Johan Lindh posted a workaround for this at
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=219257 which involves a small mod
to configure.in and I'm not sure what the effect of this would be on the
functionality of the pcp subsystem.

Is anyone else familiar with this problem, and if so is it a Courier
problem or a Gentoo problem, and is there perhaps another recommendation
for a fix for it?  The Gentoo ebuild maintainer seems to be a bit slow
in responding to the bug report.
