This thread has some ideas:
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.automake.general/8916/focus=8924>

If you (or anybody) finds the above useful, and think the setup is
general enough for several use cases, we can think about how to
integrate it into Automake proper.  Of course, if anyone volunteers
to work on this, be my guest!  ;-)
