Automake-1.9b has support for wildcards in dirlist entries. So, this:
echo "$aclocaldir/dirlist.d/*" >> $aclocaldir/dirlist
and then having packages add a subdirectory below $aclocaldir/dirlist.d
would be an alternative approach. That said, I think not requiring
third-party packages' aclocal file directories be below $aclocaldir is
probably a good idea from a distributor's POV.
If Alexandre likes it, then what's missing from the patch before it
can be applied is a ChangeLog entry, an addition to the "For example"
part in the documentation right after your patch hunk would be nice, a
testsuite addition to make sure the feature works as intended, (note
that I'm not implying that you have to do this work), and a copyright
assignment of the author of the patch.
Cheers, and thanks for your work,
Ralf
