To a rather different point, do we need aclocal.m4 at all? This is
the log for aclocal.m4:

fix for bug #811160 - autoconf vs. hp/ux system header files.
also applied to release23-maint.
Note that aclocal.m4 can go away when autoconf 2.58 is out.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think 2.58 actually had a brown-paper-bag release style bug, but
2.59 has been out for ages now. If we were prepared to
AC_PREREQ(2.59), I think this whole issue could go away.
Cheers,
