The CVS version of Automake has AC_CONFIG_LIBOBJ_DIR support not in
1.9.6.  Is that sufficient for your needs?  IOW, are you asking when
1.10 will be ready?  (Not that I would be able to answer that...)

The patch you posted has not found its way into CVS Automake; do you
need that?  (If so, showing one of your packages or, even better, a
small example package for its need would help.)

Cheers,
Ralf
