An automake include is inlined when automake runs, i.e., long
before configure would create the file.  You simply can't use
configure output as automake input.

[...]

 Tom> or

Then aminclude.am will be distributed as source, and each time a
user run ./configure in the source tree it should cause automake
to be rerun to update all dependent Makefile.ins.  This implies
your users must have automake installed.
