    I extracted those names from text found between 'Local Variables:' and
    'End:' lines, so autotools is using it down there and not in the -*- line.
    Leastwise, they are _trying_ to use it there.

I expect it works in both places.
Anyway, if it causes Emacs to ask for confirmation, please report.
