I like separating the tags out for sure.

Splitting out the PREREQ is certainly cleaner from an implementation point of
view, and is orthogonal to the Autoconf interface.  But AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE takes
a minimum version number in its <options> parameter.

Following the principle of least surprise, I think I'd like to advocate the
Autoconf style in the manual, but accept the Automake style.  Maybe with an
AU_DEFUN that splits the arguments out (is that even possible?  I haven't
played with autoupdate too much, so I don't know how powerful it is...)?

Cheers,
        Gary.
