Sounds right.

But this looks like too much magic for a feature which is not used
that much.
Moreover, the extended syntax should rather describe the pair of
rules .foo.c: an .foo.h: because there may be more *.foo.
I understand that this enhancement would be somewhat helpful, but I
do not know how it should be designed.
Let's hope for a comment from one of the more experienced Automake
developers. ;-)
Cheers,
Stepan
