Nope.

A bit better is
  for file in ac_*.m4; do
    echo "m4_include([$file])"
  done > acinclude.m4

A similar effect however is achieved by
  aclocal -I .
(except then the m4_includes end up in aclocal.m4, and are kept as
needed, i.e., as referenced.)

You need aclocal from Automake >= 1.8 for this, I believe.  And thus,
this question would have fit better on its mailing list.  ;-)

Cheers,
Ralf
