The automake port installs a program called aclocal, which expects these
files to be in /usr/local/share/aclocal.  The workaround is to use
"aclocal -I /usr/X11R6/share/aclocal", but I'd rather either see the
files all in /usr/local/share/aclocal or the automake port updated to
have the X directory included as a default too.
