This doesn't work.

>From the documentation:
Customizing `autom4te'
----------------------
One can customize `autom4te' via `~/.autom4te.cfg' (i.e., as found
in the user home directory), and `./.autom4te.cfg' (i.e., as found in
the directory from which `autom4te' is run). The order is first
reading `autom4te.cfg', then `~/.autom4te.cfg', then `./.autom4te.cfg',
and finally the command line arguments.
In these text files, comments are introduced with `#', and empty
lines are ignored. Customization is performed on a per-language basis,
wrapped in between a `begin-language: "LANGUAGE"', `end-language:
"LANGUAGE"' pair.
Customizing a language stands for appending options (*note autom4te
Invocation::) to the current definition of the language. Options, and
more generally arguments, are introduced by `args: ARGUMENTS'. You may
use the traditional shell syntax to quote the ARGUMENTS.
As an example, to disable Autoconf caches (`autom4te.cache')
globally, include the following lines in `~/.autom4te.cfg':
## ------------------ ##
## User Preferences. ##
## ------------------ ##
begin-language: "Autoconf"
args: --no-cache
end-language: "Autoconf"
So, why does it still create that annoying autom4te.cache file?
