Yep.

Sure.  There should probably be some minimal document anyway to say that
"autogen.sh" should be used.  That file should probably not be included in
distribution tarballs, hence it should not be listed in EXTRA_DIST.

I agree -- I think we don't need it anymore.  Since the majority of
development (AFAIK) is done with gcc/gmake, the automake
gmake/gcc-dependant stuff should be fine.  "make depend" stuff is rarely
bullet-proof anyway.  I think the stuff that I submitted was no exception
to that.

So if we add the $AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS stuff, I'll be happy with this and
shutup about this whole issue.  :-)
