$ aclocal --help
Usage: aclocal [OPTIONS] ...


Generate `aclocal.m4' by scanning `configure.ac' or `configure.in'

   --acdir=DIR           directory holding config files
   --help                print this help, then exit
   -I DIR                add directory to search list for .m4 files
   --output=FILE         put output in FILE (default aclocal.m4)
   --print-ac-dir        print name of directory holding m4 files
   --verbose             don't be silent
   --version             print version number, then exit

Does the above help any?
