Thanks, I'm checking this in.

Yes, this is only available in the current cvs autoconf, so we can't
use it yet.

At some point I'd like to fix the "adding a directory" problem.  Right
now if you add a new directory (edit AC_OUTPUT and SUBDIRS), automake
won't notice correctly and a simple "make" won't rebuild the way you'd
like.

Likewise automake isn't very savvy about re-creating links after
configure.in is changed.
