Bug Description

I am trying to use aclocal to auto configure one of my projects. I have repeatedly removed all generated files from the directory and verified to location of the macro file.

aclocal --print-ac-dir yields
  /usr/share/aclocal

I have no manually settings for the aclocal search path.
calling aclocal with no parameters yeilds:
/usr/share/aclocal
aclocal: configure.ac:20: file `"wxwin.m4"' does not exist

If I change line 20 to:
 m4_include(/usr/share/aclocal/wxwin.m4)
It works m4_include(wxwin.m4) fails with the above error.

I have traced to failure to scan_file in aclocal. The existing code
does not make use of the macro search path.
