Checking through a pile of messages I've flagged over the last however

James Henstridge has written some extensions to automake/autoconf as
part of his Python GTK+ bindings. Apparently they'll be part of
automake 1.5 whever that surfaces, but you can get them as part of
gnome-python or pygtk. Go see
