Would not it be better to switch the priorities in autogen.sh to "-I
macros -I ${ACLOCAL_FLAGS}"? That way aclocal will really use the
macro GnuCash wants it to do. People needing another behavoir can
make local adjustments to force that. Btw, I am currently testing in
an environment which has ACLOCAL_FLAGS set and interesing macros
therein.
