Hmm.

That plus another bug I fixed last night. Running depcomp tests in a
subdir caused regressions, and against my own advice I didn't run
`make check'. Sigh.

What if instead we decide on a permanent naming scheme for automake
internal variables? Then we can start moving towards that over time,
starting here.
What if instead we use `_AM_'? Or `_am_'?
I'd like to also work out a naming scheme for internally generated
targets. That way eventually it will be clear what people can rely on
and what they cannot. Suggestions here are welcome.
