Thanks very much for this. Everything was clear except for why after making
all the changes I was still getting this error:

gnulib/gnulib-tool: *** Option --automake-subdir is only supported if the
definition of AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS in Makefile.am
contains 'subdir-objects'.

I eventually worked out this is because gnulib-tool requires the invocation
of AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS to be on a single line. In hello's configure.ac, it was
on multiple lines for clarity. No big deal.

See commit fab5dca of hello.
