my vars are called WANT_MAN_PAGES, WANT_README etc, but other than  
that, its the same, for example ...

if WANT_MAN_PAGES
        cp fooman.8 $(foomandir)
fi

etc

and it leads to the following error ...

Makefile.am:175: unterminated conditionals: WANT_MAN_PAGES_TRUE  
WANT_README_TRUE WANT_LICENSE_TRUE WANT_CREDITS_TRUE WANT_SGML_DOCS_TRUE
automake: ####################
