Of course. Thanks a lot for writing this patch, the doc was long overdue.

If you want to be more complete, you could add a line for OBJC in
lib/Automake/Variables.pm (%_ac_macro_for_var)
and even check what happens without AC_PROG_OBJC (cxx2.test does
such a simple test for CXX).
But feel free to commit the patch even without that bonus, it
looks fine.

Let's be verbose! ObjC users surely want to know how it improved :)
I'm thinking of something like
- Improved support for Objective C:
- Autoconf's new AC_PROG_OBJC will enable automatic dependency tracking
- A new section of the manual documents the support.
