I'd recommend this for all uses, actually (much like libtool).
I'm not entirely sure I like the globbing approach, though, as it starts
to unnecessarily restrict a user's namespace.

Hmm - that means you can't really have two concurrent versions of
Autoconf, with different prefixes.  Maybe this should always get
autom4te's $prefix (or $datadir) prepended?
Which would probably mean using

includedir: share/autoconf
or
includedir: autoconf

instead
