While working on my guide, I've noticed that there is an inconsistency
with the way boolean parameters are passed.

AM_MAINTAINER_MODE expects [enable] to be on-by-default.
AM_SILENT_RULES expects [yes] to be on-by-default.

Maybe it's something to keep in mind for future cleanups to accept both
forms, and normalize the documentation?
