need to set ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS along with AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR

Hi,

I had AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4]) in configure.ac and a macro from the archive in m4/ that wasn't getting m4_include'd at the end of aclocal.m4 after I ran autoreconf. Bizarrely, it was working on a different project. I finally realized that I had ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4 in one case but not the other.

Please consider (some variant of) the attached documentation patch.

Cheers,
Chris
