Re: patch to allow users to use a custom Automake installation

[Jose E. Marchesi]

Hi Bruno.

    Currently a user who has installed Automake in a location != /usr
    has problems: The bootstrap.conf script fetches pkg.m4 from the
    location where 'automake' is installed. But the distros only install
    it in /usr/share/aclocal/pkg.m4.
    
    It is particularly annoying that we cannot download the newest
    pkg.m4 through wget (of a tarball or git repository), because the
    pkg.m4 is the processed output of what can be found in the tarballs
    and git repositories of the ***-****** package.
    
    This patch alleviates the problem. Code taken from GNU grep, likely
    from Jim Meyering.

OK for master.
Thanks!
