But that would change the intended meaning of the sentence in an
unintended way.

From the original meaning:
  "How automake scan configure.ac.  What aclocal does, and how it works."
to a new, wrong one:
  "How to scan configure.ac with the use/help of aclocal"

Maybe a full stop would be better?
  "Scanning configure.ac.  Using aclocal."

Or can you suggest a completely new wording which is more clear and
precise?

Thanks,
