The only directory that really needs some fixing is the plubins/ directory. 
I'd really appreciate some sort of fix there. I've done some work in this 
direction myself, by building the plugins from plugins/Makefile.am instead of 
from individual Makefile.ams. But there were some obstacles that I didn't 
take the time to clean out...

If you can come up with patchex that addresses the plugins directory, I'll 
gladly apply them.

Please avoid any exotic features (of automake) and don't expect everybody to 
have latest and hottest automake.
