AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4]) is recommended to locate local macros,
which is fully used starting automake 1.14.

ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in Makefile.am is deprecated since automake 1.14.
The comment is to prevent developers from removing the statement
as suggested in 1.14 which would break earlier versions.

Automake 1.14 is already in use by many.
This patch works on versions prior and post 1.14

Tested with autoconf 2.60, automake 1.10.3 and libtool 2.2

The same upgrade will be applied to libraries and drivers.
