IMHO, it's not worth it to use AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS if you have control over all the source trees. Just use SUBDIRS = in the top-level Makefile.am. Are the configure.ac's of the individual utilities huge? Are they very different? I'd probably merge them to one top-level configure.ac. You can use --enable options to control which utilities are built. You will have "less autoconfigury" in the resulting super-package, so your ancestors will be less scared. Maybe. If some of the utilities wants to use an information which was previously used by another one, it is readily available, because they share the same configure. I hope you'll get more answers, so that you can get a more complete picture from them.
