There is a variable, probably named AM_ACLOCALFLAGS or something: check
in automake or output Makefiles for the right name. But actually it
would probably be better to have a directory in your package,
eg m4/, in which you put your own macros, so that other users have them.
hen, tell -I m4 to that AM flag, and everything should go right.
