Good point.
The acinclude.m4 contains two autoconf macros normally picked up during
autoreconf, by aclocal from /usr/aclocal/ac-archive (or some such).
I copied these two macros from aclocal-archive into my tree in order to
overcome some unexplained failures to detect lua in ubuntu.
This is where they come from, and why.
I assume the following extracts from respective copyright notices should
suffice (the first one doesn't explicitly say it's GPL, although it
really must be GPL due to its origin; please double-check?):
