Resend: Overriding dependencies for aclocal.m4

[Pavel Roskin]

Hello!

I haven't seen any reaction on this patch.
Maybe something with my e-mail, I don't know.

This patch will be applied unless anybody objects.

I'll be especially glad to hear a comment whether ACLOCAL_M4_SOURCES
is an appropiate name for this purpose.

The documentation will be updated separately. ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS is not
documented either, and I cannot explain the purpose of ACLOCAL_M4_SOURCES
without mentioning ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS.

Regards,
Pavel Roskin
