Never mind: Re: What is meant by, "XXX does not appear

RTFM:

     The shell CONDITION (suitable for use in a shell `if' statement)
     is evaluated when `configure' is run.  Note that you must arrange
     for _every_ `AM_CONDITIONAL' to be invoked every time `configure'
     is run - if `AM_CONDITIONAL' is run conditionally (e.g., in a
     shell `if' statement), then the result will confuse automake.

Having to ensure that AM_CONDITIONAL is not invoked in conditional
code is a bit of a nuisance, but I suppose the constraint is a consequence
of nuisances of your own.  Thank you - Bruce
