Please don't use top_srcdir exclusively. I want to break up the
configure.in scripts for my packages into separate macros for each major
test to make it easier to maintain, and I don't want to clutter up the top
level of the distribution with all of them. I think there was some
general agreement in the past on a subdirectory named "m4" or some similar
sort of thing that would be automatically searched by m4_include, whatever
it's called, and I'm strongly in favor of that. That sounded great to me.
I know this can be simulated with AC_MACRO_PATH, but I think it would be
nicer if it were somehow built in.
