In theory this can be done.  In practice I don't know if I've ever
even tried it.

But try writing something like:

    AC_OUTPUT(foo)

Then write `foo.am'.  This should cause automake to create `foo.in'.

I think that's all that is currently possible.  And it won't work
properly in some situations, namely recursive make invocations.

Why do you want to do this?
