 >Description:
 I installed autoconf-2.54 and discovered that the installed files
 refer to the source directory. My intuition tells me that this is not
 right. I discovered this when investigated why I can't build ppp from
 cvs. The evidence is shown when I go to /usr/local/share/autoconf and
 execute "grep -r /home/installer/sourcecode/stable/autoconf-2.54 .".
 One of the files that contains the path of the source directory is
 usr/local/share/autoconf/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4f, which contains the line
 
"m4_location(m4_join)/home/installer/sourcecode/stable/autoconf-2.54/lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4:1537".
 
 The problem with ppp was that I got this error when executing
 autoheader in ppp/pppd/plugins/radius/radiusclient (part of the build
 process):

 WARNING: and `config.h.top', to define templates for `config.h.in'

 WARNING: Using the third argument of `AC_DEFINE' and
