bug#14196: Problem with invoking "missing" in directory with "(" in name (Automake 1.11.6, Autoconf 2.68)

I am using automake 1.11.6 and autoconf 2.68 on Fedora 17 and cannot configure a simple hello world program if it is placed into a directory with "(" and ")". To reproduce: 1. Create a directory: mkdir test\(1\) 2. Take the attached tar file and untar it: cd test\(1\) tar -xzvf hellowo

bug#12219: Could the --add-missing option be supported in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE?
