Re: Death of gnome-common

OK, next problem. The porting guide says:

"Firstly, add

AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4])

to your configure.ac, and

ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = --install -I m4 ${ACLOCAL_FLAGS}

to your top-level Makefile.am, regardless of which of the two options
you choose below."

But I see in Automake's NEWS file:

  - The ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS special make variable will be fully deprecated
in
    Automake 2.0: it will raise warnings in the "obsolete" category
(but
    still no hard error of course, for compatibilities with the many,
many
    packages that still relies on that variable).  You are advised to
    start relying on the new Automake support for AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS
    instead (which was introduced in Automake 1.13).
