Yeah, it is. It's strange what these tools produce. But it sees it's
slowly getting better over time not worse - so there is hope. Even the
recent libtool looks ok now. And I don't really miss the check for
FORTRAN, which seems to have disappeared here recently. :)

Heh, yeah. If you do not check-in the created stuff into git, and use:
  git clean -d -X -f
  autoreconf --install --symlink
to bootstrap a repo, stuff looks pretty good, I think. You just need
to be able to convince yourself not to look into the generated files.
:)

On the other hand the silent rules and "make distcheck" and all these
things which come along with automake are just great to have.

Ah nice, looks good to me, if that works.

Thanks,
