Not at all as it's generated :-)

If the problem is the high Automake version I could hack
a release script together that
1) backups Makefile.am
2) patches Makefile.am to require 1.10.1 and use dist-lzma
3) restore the backup

Would you like that?

No idea. As Autotools are perfectly installable without
root privileges I'd say we can expect up to date Autotools
from every developer. I'd say let's not live in the past
unless we really have to.

Okay.
