That's the approach I've taken..sort of.  I've just begun with
autoconf/automake, so maybe I can verify what I'm doing is reasonable.
 So the author only had configure.in and Makefile.am files, but no
configure.am.  I think I read that using the name configure.in is an
older convention, but it should generally have the same content as a
configure.am.

So what I'm doing is commenting out or changing lines in configure.in
and then running autoreconf -i to regenerate the configure file.  Is
that a reasonable approach?

Thanks,

Joey
