Re: aclocal: file '/u/ROOT/usr/local/share/aclocal/pix.m4' does not exist

I found the right search term. There were a mess of dinkleberry sym
links in /usr/local that aclocal was trying to follow. Would you like
a patch with a more informative warning message? (It ought to be a
warning, given that it likely won't have an effect. Removing the
(several) broken links allowed it to complete successfully.)
