Couldn't agree more. Anybody who knows and likes automake and wants to use it for building external pike modules is welcome to design and implement a recommended procedure for doing that.
And such a project is mostly orthogonal to pike -x module and to the current aclocal.m4 and its installation.

And, again, nothing stops people from writing a pike.m4 (or perhaps pike7519.m4, with a symlink to pike.m4 from the last installed version, in the spirit of previous arguments about not trying to support multiple pikes from the same .m4-file) that is actually intended to be used from automake (that file would probably not be all that similar to the current aclocal.m4, though.)
Doing so would only be good, since it would help people who use automake, and not break things for people who use pike -x module.
