Does this fix the problem correctly (ie. choose the newer macro if 
multiple ones exist), or just cause it to not error out?  If you are 
getting these errors because of macros distributed with automake, make 
sure that $(datadir)/aclocal only contains macros from other packages. 
Automake's macros should be in $(datadir)/aclocal-1.4 or 1.6.
