Thanks for looking at this.
We're aware of the problem.  Every conditional you use must always be
declared -- running AM_CONDITIONAL in an `if' or something in
configure will (could) generate output that confuses make.

In the CVS automake we've added code to check for this at configure
time.  We can't do a perfect job, since autoconf doesn't really know
about shell flow-control, but we can detect the error when it occurs
and report it to the user.
