The acmkdir script also > creates a README.in file. Then that looks like an issue with the acmkdir script. Does it expect you to manually edit the README.in file and rename it to README? Anyway, I just wanted to add that you can get automake to ignore missing README (and some other) files with `automake --foreign' or with adding the `foreign' option to AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS in the toplevel Makefile.am, or to the AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE invocation in configure.ac.
