Yes, agreed. As does the fact that adding new Makefile.am files
requires adding an AC_CONFIG_FILES stanza plus a SUBDIRS entry
(which is what allows to mix automake-generated Makefile.in's with
others; and creative subdirectory orderings).

Not sure. Since this typically is a one-time operation, and not a
hassle that you have to take care of regularly, I'm rather cautious
to add an automatism here, in case someone ends up having a good use
case for AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR without ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS pointing there.
