Hi Peter and Petr (no typo :-) FYI, this patch is on my radar, and I intend to consider it (and likely integrate and adjusted version of it) in the upcoming minor version of Automake (1.13.2).
If you want to speed things up a bit and make the integration work easier to us, you can present the patch as the output of "git format-patch" rather than of "git diff", and add a clear git commit message that explains the rationale and motivation for the change. That would be appreciated.

There are other issues too, but I'll get to them when I'll do a proper review. > I hope that this is not too much general. > > BR > Petr Thanks, Stefano
