That sounds like a good idea. That's exactly the setup I've ended up 
when changing from recursive to non-recursive Makefile. I also, however, 
often have Automake fragments in a directory 'am/' which are included 
into Makefile.am [in topdir]. For those fragment files, it would 
probably be confusing if paths were inserted into variables. Perhaps one 
could have a switch to turn that feature on.
