Automake 1.5 rules for `stamp-h*.in'

[Christian Cornelssen]

Dear Automake maintainers,

I use several (== 3) header template files (`*.h.in') in a project.
Some of the instantiated header files are meant to be installed, and
therefore the macro definitions are divided by subject among the
header template files.  That is, I shall not simply stuff all the defs
in a single `config.h' file.

Now, "autoheader" cannot handle several header template files yet;
therefore Automake 1.5's commands for doing stamped updates of several
`*.h.in' files with always the same $(AUTOHEADER) call for each one
does not make sense.  I had to set AUTOHEADER=: in my `configure.ac'
to get rid of the annoying warnings about (not really) missing macro
definition templates.  However, this trick does not prevent Automake
from maintaining a `stamp-h*.in' file for every header template file.
Therefore, an option `no-autoheader' would be desirable.

Sincerely,

Christian Cornelssen
