Personally I'm not wedded to any of this crap. I sometimes use
autoreconf.

The URL cited above says:
   AM_MAINTAINER_MODE also allows you to disable some custom build rules 
conditionally. 

Because it was there and getting turned on, I used it to add a rule
the regenreate the ChangeLog which I do just before a release. The
ChangeLog target assumes you have cvs2cl which I suspect many people
won't have. 

As long as we keep some way to regenerate ChangeLog either as another
conditional or make it unconditional, I'm cool. Again, I'm not wedded
to this crap.
