2-gary-AC_CONFIG_M4_DIR.patch

[Gary V. Vaughan]

It would be nice to get this into the next release so that the other autotools 
can start using it...

Cheers,
        Gary.

        * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_CONFIG_M4_DIR): Stub out a macro
        that future autopoint/aclocal/automake/autoreconf will be able
        to trace to find where to install local m4 macros.
