But this would still prevent automake to warn the user when he used
  noinst_LTLIBRARIES = libfoo.la
  lib_LTLIBRARIES = libfoo.la

but really meant to use
  if COND_FOO
  noinst_LTLIBRARIES = libfoo.la
  else
  lib_LTLIBRARIES = libfoo.la
  endif

or
  EXTRA_LTLIBRARIES = libfoo.la
  noinst_LTLIBRARIES = @substituted1@
  lib_LTLIBRARIES = @substituted2@

I'm sorry but I still fail to see the added value.  gnulib-tool could be
made smart enough to output the right thing in the first place, or let
configure compute where to put the library.

Cheers,
Ralf
