+# Avoid the perceived need to run automake again when building from source
+# tarballs. The assorted AM include macros assume two passes are needed to
+# generate a makefile since one pass has to generate the includes and the
+# second one inlines them, but we're distributing a ready-to-use version and
+# hence one pass is enough. We can skip ahead and assume the Makefile template
+# is ready to go an this point, avoiding the need for autotools at all.
