What version of automake are you using? I am using automake-1.10 and
'./configure ; make check' works for me without having . in subdirs.
I just tested automake-1.9.6 and it was the same.
I am not offended by seeing '.' in the SUBDIRS but I was surprised
that it seemed to be necessary. It works for me without it. I think
the way automake constructs Makefiles that it tries to make this
unecessary. If it is not working then it is probably a bug in
automake. So I am interested in tracking this down from that
perspective.
