To make this work both for GNOME Applications inside and outside the

GNOME CVS Tree I did the following:

* There is an `INSIDE_GNOME_COMMON' automake conditional which is defined
  in two places:

  - macros/aclocal-includes.m4 defines this to always be false.

  - gnome-common/configure.in does not include anything from macros and
    defines this to be true.

* We use this automake conditional in the macros/Makefile.am to install
  $(MACROS), autogen.sh, gnome-common.m4 and a newly created gnome-macros.dep
  in `$(datadir)/aclocal/gnome'.

  Since aclocal doesn't look in subdirectories we can safely install them
  there even when compiling from CVS.

  Also, there is no need to make any change to any existing application
  in the GNOME CVS Tree - really fine ...

* When we're outside the GNOME CVS Tree we simply need to tell aclocal that
  it should also look in `$(datadir)/aclocal/gnome' and it will find all
  the macros.

  The is a `gnome-skel' module in CVS that can be used as a starting point
  when writing a new GNOME Application that should be used outside CVS.
