Please remove the space before the '('.

See 'info Autoconf "Autoconf Language"' for why.

And yes, it is perfectly possible to have subpackages that do not use
Automake, or do not use Autoconf either.  Their configure scripts merely
have to conform to what the GNU Coding Standards say, and their
makefiles too.  'info Automake "Third-Party Makefiles"' also has further
information.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Ralf
