Hi Bertrand,

This is outside the scope of your patch, but I spotted it in there.

Rather than a one-character character class for each of the variables,
which are slow, a better way to stop automake spotting it is to end and
start the shell's quoting.

    sed -e "s|@""APPRESDIR@|$(appresdir)|g" \

I'm guessing `@|$...' isn't an automake expansion anyway, but if it is
then the same can happen there.

Cheers, Ralph.
