Such packages would trigger automake 1.13 to issue a warning that
configure.ac is out of sync with ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS, along with a
suggestion of how to fix it assuming newer tools (replace
ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS with AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS). As long as aclocal honors
the union of both specifications, for as long as it supports
ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS, then this works. And as soon as packages follow the
hints from aclocal about how to avoid deprecated usage (any usage where
ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS disagrees with AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR_TRACE), then
ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS can be deleted.
