The ability to specify a directory on the command line is intended to be
used for temporary or test configurations. I disagree that there is any
need to honor AUTOMAKE for such configurations and, in fact, I think it
would be a detriment. If I have a special configuration that I use
infrequently, honoring AUTOMAKE with that configuration would probably
result in an attempt to restart using the config to be ignored.
