I have already copied the code from gnucash's configure.in, and the
all the code in legacy_macros.m4 to my project, but for now I don't
know how make this macros to be included in my project, I've added in
Makefile.am at

EXTRA_DIST = (...) macros/legacy_macros.m4

but autogen.sh/configure don't find this definitions.

Any sugestion?
