Installation includes $prefix/share/aclocal m4 macros #6

The installation of fastx_toolkit 0.0.14 installs m4 macros into $prefix/share/aclocal. It seems wrong to install these files when they are not actually needed at runtime.

Hello,

This is likely related to m4/Makefile.am - I'll be happy to merge a patch if you have one. otherwise it'll be a bit longer until I get to it.

Thanks!

Hi @agordon, I'm a maintainer for homebrew/science and this software currently conflicts with autoconf-archive, which is where those m4 macros come from. Since you just need to use the m4 macros while building, it's sufficient to simply delete m4/Makefile.am and the reference to it in the root Makefile.am.
