Is it a bug or a feature that when using automake+autoconf there Must be a
top-level Makefile?

I tried to write a test case for automake (debugging the AM_CONDITIONAL
slowdown problem I'm seeing) and I wrote a top-level configure.ac that only
specified the following outputs:

 AC_CONFIG_FILE(a/Makefile)
 AC_CONFIG_FILE(b/Makefile)
 AC_OUTPUT

and when I ran automake on this I never got either of those Makefile.in's
generated.

What gives?
