Autoconf macros and aclocal

Also in some cases it might be agains the OS policy (yes, I'm referring to Debian :) where the package should use the stuff provided by other packages if the item it uses belongs in that other package).

No, I don't think it'd be that common that they change, but various minor fixes could nevertheless be nice to get automatically. It should be weighted against the cost (and will) to implement a way to recover, and it seems fairly simple to do it. I don't know how far Marek got in actually doing it, though.

Anyway, I think it's clearly better to have a system that avoids manual duplication than one that don't.
