Not difficult, but obviously wrong ;).

I've just tried to do it on Solaris. But it fails. It doesn't find 
AM_PATH_LIBART. Do I have to copy the contents of libart.m4 or should it 
find it by itself?

Ah, I didn't realize this.

None really. Just trying to understand how it works and where they come from.

Does any particular line in Makefile.am generate this list? Or is it some 
automatism that always produces this depending on what macros are found?
I relate e.g. to these lines in Makefile.in:
GNUPLOT = @GNUPLOT@
GTK_LIBS = @GTK_LIBS@
