ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS

[Ralf Corsepius]

ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS are broken w/ cvs/automake

Example: 

Given this excerpt of a sourcetree:
aclocal/x.m4
a/b/configure.in
a/b/Makefile.am

cat a/b/Makefile.am
..
ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I ../../aclocal
..

The generated Makefile.in will contain
..
$(ACLOCAL_M4): configure.in  \
                ./../aclocal/x.m4 \

AFAIS, the "strip "./"" from this patch is to blame for this:

* automake.in (handle_aclocal_m4): exclude aclocal.m4 and
acinclude.m4 from the dependencies of aclocal.m4 to avoid
circular and duplicated dependencies. Strip "./" from the
dependencies.
