(I'm automake newbie), just an idea I wouldn't recommend it. The syntax looks similar, but there are some slight differences, and Automake has its own ideas of what rules and variables you are and aren't allowed to override. Besides, there's quite a lot of stuff that Automake will output even with an entirely blank Makefile.am; I doubt it would be very much fun to try to merge that into the current Makefile.in without essentially doing a full port to Automake.
