Autoconf used to have AC_INCLUDE, but it got removed in 2.49a.
Apparently, it got replaced with autoreconf --install, I guess under
the theory that everybody who wanted this sort of thing would be using
aclocal.
Sorry, I didn't know about autoreconf --install until just now, or I'd
have mentioned it earlier. And I don't know exactly what it does; you
may have to look at the source to figure it out.
Perhaps Akim can chime in and explain the motivation here; I'm a bit
out of my depth.

I would say that only --install should copy; the default should be to
use a search path, without copying.

But the aclocal command typically produces aclocal.m4 from the m4
subdirectory. (acinclude.m4 is obsolete.)
