It looks like AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR defaults to m4, so I don't know if
we want to explicitly set that.

Or are you thinking that we should have a separate directory for m4
files that we don't provide? Not quite sure how that would work.

Peter Selinger was our resident expert who did the conversion to
automake (from plain autoconf). I'd agree that we can just add them to
svn:ignore until we know more about them.
