typo in automake.pdf

howdy-

i *think* i've found a typo in the "automake.pdf" file with the subtitle "For version 1.10, 15 October 2006". i downloaded the file from http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.pdf , perhaps there's a newer version where this issue has already been fixed and the web site simply needs to be updated with the newer version?

anyway.

at the bottom of page 17 of the PDF, which calls itself page 15 in the docuemnt, section 2.4.2, "`amhello-`.0' explained"... it's talking about the contents of the "configure.ac" file.

at the top of the next page, after the example, we find this text:

        This file is ready by both autoconf (to create `configure.ac') and ...

should the filename here not be `configure.in' ? the idea of "configure.ac" being used to create "configure.ac" seems a bit recursive.

with that said, thank you for everybody's efforts in putting all this together.
