6 Scanning ‘configure.ac’, using ‘aclocal’
******************************************

Automake scans the package’s ‘configure.ac’ to determine certain
information about the package.  Some ‘autoconf’ macros are required and
some variables must be defined in ‘configure.ac’.  Automake will also
use information from ‘configure.ac’ to further tailor its output.

   Automake also supplies some Autoconf macros to make the maintenance
easier.  These macros can automatically be put into your ‘aclocal.m4’
using the ‘aclocal’ program.
