Automake 2.0 isn’t out yet (though it looks cool), so I’d be tempted to leave in the ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS recommendation for backwards compatibility until automake 2.0 is released, and then bump everyone’s dependency to automake 1.13 and drop use of ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS. Unless you think automake 2.0 is being released imminently, and we should instead be adding a hard dependency on automake 1.13 and using AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS to begin with? Philip
