Re: 1.6.2: patch-aclocal-path

[Harlan Stenn]

This patch is from the mpkg folks.

As I understand it, the purpose is to "unlink" the installation of things
like libtool and automake, so one may use the ACLOCAL_PATH to easily use
different installations of libtool with different versions of automake.

Perhaps the mpkg folks can provide a better ChangeLog entry and a suitable
entry for the NEWS file.
