Yes, right, that's an automake thing. Actually, though, automake just
warns about that, which is annoying but is apparently not a big deal.
Now that's I've gotten a little farther I remember the real problem:
some of the files I want to generate are AC_OUTPUT files. This really
throws autoconf for a loop since the .in versions don't yet exist when
the maintainer runs configure.
However, I just thought of a way around this and...
Sure enough, it works. Very cool! Assuming that automake continues to
just complain but not fatally about these missing files, I should be all
set. Thanks :).
