Eh?  Quoting autoconf-2.59 documentation:
|To create a `configure' script with Autoconf, you need to write an
|Autoconf input file `configure.ac' (or `configure.in') and run
|`autoconf' on it.  If you write your own feature tests to supplement
|those that come with Autoconf, you might also write files called
|`aclocal.m4' and `acsite.m4'.

If I follow this advice, and write `aclocal.m4' myself, then *by
definition*, `aclocal.m4' *is* the source!

Cheers,
