Isn't AC_CONFIG_LIBOBJ_DIR already there?

No, too much backwards incompatibility. Do we care about *two* files each
3k long? Couldn't we include mdate-sh in Automakized programs, make ylwrap
depend on AC_PROG_YACC, and so on?

That's fine for me.

We could call autolib aclocal, it even has the same initials :-) (just
kidding)
