xdm: Changes to 'master'

[Jeremy Huddleston]

I wish I caught the AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4]) change before xdm-1.1.10 shipped.  I *really* dislike it because it leads to build failures with libtool.  Yes, the ac_define_dir.m4 is good to have in there rather than acinclude.m4, but 'make dist' also packages up a bunch of libtool cruft which can cause build failures.

If the builder runs 'autoreconf -fvi' from the tarball, the packager's libtool m4 macros will be used, and the builder's libtool will be used!

I just hit this with the new xdm tarball on Leopard which shipped libtool-1.5.22 ... sure, I can 'rm -rf m4/l{ib,}t*' first, but that should not be needed.
