[PATCH] Improve and extend tests `pluseq*.test' (on `+=' support).

Hello automakers. The attached patch extend and impove the tests on `+=' support (for appending to variables at automake time). Since the maint branch has recently seen a commit dealing with this feature (precisely, v1.11-222-g7a020d6 Fix a bug in variable concatanation with `+='.), I'd like to

[PATCH 2/3] aclocal: remove @automake_includes

This patch simplifies the overly complicated rules for ACLOCAL_PATH vs. @automake_includes and @system_includes, by stating that ACLOCAL_PATH will override even @automake_includes. The simplest way to achieve this is to remove @automake_includes altogether. There are two small visible

[PATCH 3/3] aclocal: rename search path variables

As suggested in the v1 thread, this renames references to user/system includes to local and global. The source now refers to system directories as a subset of the global directories (together with ACLOCAL_PATH-supplied and dirlist-supplied directories). * aclocal.in (user_includes): Rename to...
