With this change, we allow the user to request the install-info
rules not to update the `${infodir}/dir' file, by exporting the

This is especially useful to distro packagers, and is a definite
improvement over our previous hack of looking whether the
`install-info' program was the Debian or GNU version -- hack
which had been silently broken with recent versions of debian

aclocal: more granularity in acdir overriding

redefine both the directory of automake-provided m4 macros and the
directory of third-party system-wide m4 macros. With this change,

granularity.
