Imagine you have no special option in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE nor
AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS, and say, Automake is changed so that command-line
options override the other two. Then you run
$ automake --foreign
Then Makefile.in contains --foreign in the rebuild rules for itself.
Now, after hard work to make

Hi Ralf, and thanks for the patch. More comments about non-obvious
code are always welcome!
Yes, and ## comments should be verbose that way, see HACKING.

Hmpf. The tests `yflags.test' and `yflags2.test' fail if an environment
variable YACC is defined, because they call `make -e', thus letting the
value of that variable override the value we forced at configure time.

Haven't looked in any detail yet, but while some things are better, the
number of failures is still very high. There's even a couple of runs
that hang in cscope3.test and tar2.test. :-(
The first one is fixed by the patch below
