Right, my intent is something that _doesn't_ require that, which can
be handled entirely by the configure script.
[That's more or less the whole point of this thread, right?]
Yes, exactly.
Since there is now a GNU-make dependent fork of Automake, the ability
to adjust the file list without re-running Automake is likely best
addressed in that fork. GNU-make is quite good at this sort of thing.
It remains to be decided if Automake should just pick up '*.c' like
some people ask for. I am against that flimsy approach, but a
hard-coded list in a GNU-make include file seems fine to me.
