Right now I don't care what the files are called, we can rename them during "make install" anyway. The real problem is that the whole automake model fits our specific problem badly, and we end up with a zillion hacks to work around that. This is not very good, because it probably means we have to keep upgrading these hacks as automake develops. Either we need to get the features we need into automake, or we have to start rolling our own on top of autoconf (which I would prefer not to). - Stig
