Hello automakers.

Currently, automake is not smart enough to resolve variable expansions
in AM_YFLAGS (or foo_YFLAGS) when scanning them for the `-d' flag.

For example:

   $ cat configure.ac
   AC_INIT(x,0)
   AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(foreign)
   AC_PROG_CC
   AC_PROG_YACC
   AC_CONFIG_FILES(Makefile)
   $ cat Makefile.am
   bin_PROGRAMS = foo bar
   foo_SOURCES = foo.y
   bar_SOURCES = bar.y
   my_YFLAGS = -d
   AM_YFLAGS = $(my_YFLAGS)
   bar_YFLAGS = $(my_YFLAGS)
   $ aclocal
   $ automake -a
   $ egrep '(foo|bar).h\.*:' Makefile.in # no match :-(
   $ sed -i 's/$(my_YFLAGS)/-d/' Makefile.am
   $ automake
   $ egrep '(foo|bar)\.h.*:' Makefile.in # now as expected
   bar-bar.h: bar-bar.c
   foo.h: foo.c

Not sure if this bug is worth fixing,
This once used to work

=> regression.
