I agree.

| Ouch.
| (BTW I'm surprized that BSD m4 is supported, I thought only GNU's was.)
It is not ``supported'', but Marc Espie fought hard to remove GNU M4
from his BSD machine and as a result, upgraded BSD M4 to become GNU
compatible. Except for frozen files, but including... the traces!
As a result, they ship a modified Autoconf which no longer requires
GNU M4.
| Is there any way Automake can filter user files from Autoconf's files?
Hm.
So maybe we want to introduce AC_INCLUDE and trace the latter.
OTOH, that's *their* problem. Not ours.

| (This assumes Autoconf won't try to m4_include something conditionally.)
Which is probably an assumption we can't agree on.
| Or any way Autoconf could hide its includes from `--trace m4_include'?
Or maybe you just want to filter out everything that has an absolute
file name.
