I'm wondering if this feature could also be useful for projects that have a maintainer's GNUMakefile, but want to perform VPATH builds. In other words, by using this module, could we add some sort of: if GNU_MAKE include $(top_srcdir)/GNUMakefile endif that automatically pulls in the GNUMakefile without having to symlink it into the VPATH build tree? - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
