guile-aclocal.sh looks broken.

guile-aclocal.sh looks broken.

[Marius Vollmer]

Hi,

we use the script guile-aclocal.sh as a wrapper for aclocal.  It
should make sure that aclocal uses the *.m4 files distributed with
Guile in preference to the ones installed in the system.

I think it is broken, tho.  It will definitely be broken when we use
automake 1.6.

Ultimately, aclocal is invoked as

    aclocal --acdir=$temp -I .

but guile.m4 is no longer in ".".  It has been moved to guile-config.

Also, for automake 1.6, a single "acdir" does not seem to suffice.


I propose to fix this situation by removing guile-aclocal.sh
altogether, moving qthread.m4 into guile-config and invoking aclocal
as

    aclocal -I guile-config

from autogen.sh.  Also, we need to put

    ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I $(top_srcdir)/guile-config

into every Makefile.am


OK?

Oops, only into the top-level Makefile.am.

cool.

i notice autoconf 2.53 now has abs_builddir and friends, so we can
replace our ad-hoc implementations of this functionality, too.

Ahh, good.  Can you do this?

turns out autoconf 2.53 abs_top_builddir is broken because top_builddir
can be empty.  see:

 http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/autoconf-patches/2002-April/008313.html

for this reason, i'll defer these changes until a fixed autoconf is
available (i've added a TODO item to remind us).
