Fact is, we already have that, even if it's almost not used.

[HACKING:]
| * We've adopted the convention that internal AC_SUBSTs should be
|   named with a leading `am__', and internally generated targets should
|   be named with a leading `am--'.  This convention is very new
|   (as of Feb 7 2001) and so it isn't yet universally used.  But all
|   new code should use it.

Someday I'd like to adjust most targets to follow this rule.
The trouble is that it will break setups that override internal
rules :(

Still and all, we can't use this for `html' since this rule is
intended as a user target.  We don't want people to type `make am--html'.
