If you have the time, please go ahead and commit it along with a mention in HACKING. I have been using the following steps to bootstrap Automake (this is needed only when `automake' and `aclocal' don't exist in the current directory, or if the version number have changed): autoreconf -vf # Autoconfiscate with an old version of Automake. ./configure --prefix ~/usr make install autoreconf -vf # Autoconfiscate with CVS Automake itself This has worked so far, but it have some drawbacks (like installing CVS Automake -- which might be an issue when CVS Automake is broken...)

I've found diffs on Automake-generated files a valuable to check the effect of changes we do on Automake itself. [...] -- Alexandre Duret-Lutz
