That generally means that the package had an overquoted macro in its
configure.ac.  You may be better off reporting this to the acl folks, to
see if it is a bug in their files.

Meanwhile, here's the documentation of m4_pattern_allow [1].  However,
adding m4_pattern_allow([AC_CONFIG_MACRO]) to configure.ac is probably not
the right thing to do; but without seeing the context that caused the
warning, I'm not sure what the best fix is.
