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

This looks like a Gentoo-specific issue.

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.

I do not believe that AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS is a macro in the stock autoconf, this looks like something that's Gentoo-specific.

aclocal -I m4 is not normally run as part of building Courier.
