Yes, I'm so sorry. I got so interested in addressing the issue of macro
location in the Makefile, I forgot to answer your original question.

Frankly, from what you've presented, I can't see any reason why you're
experiencing that behavior. You're absolutely right - automake should
(and usually does) handle conditionals without a hitch.

How does WANT_BAR get assigned? Do you have an AM_CONDITIONAL statement
for WANT_BAR in your configure.ac file?

Perhaps you could send along relevant portions of the generated
Makefile. I know they're big, but just clip out the stuff you think is
important.
