Actually, since your patch was wrapped by your mailer, I missed some
bits, sorry.  But ven then, I'm not sure '' is always right, and I
would delay such as decision to Tom.  Using "" seems certainly better
to me.

But isn't this completely partial?  Don't you have the problem
elsewhere too?  That would mean a lot of work and changes on Automake,
probably obfuscation.

Then again, the question is why is VPATH support triggered, since I
thought we were neutralizing it.
