Thanks. Ok to install m4/autobuild.m4 too?
Accidentally, installing it will fix the problem of having to 'mkdir
m4' in order to build inetutils from CVS, which is nice.

I haven't seen any such plans, but given that many projects still have
a acinclude.m4 I doubt it will be soon. Still, I think GNU projects

feasible.
