Hmm.. Maybe. It's been a while I wrote my last autotool package.
In any case, I still remember that it's good practice to only generate
from ./configure things that are needed to do the actual build, and that
anything not needed to run 'make' should be handled in Makefile.am.
(pushing the comparison to the limits: if they were C files, you'd
compile them from Makefile.am, not configure).

Yann E. MORIN.
