The following commit message should be more appropriate. AM_MAINTAINER_MODE can be used to disable generation of rebuild rules. This is not something we want to condone/support, considering it can cause greater problems than the perceived benefits. Additionally the Automake manual leans towards avoiding the use of AM_MAINTAINER_MODE. http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/maintainer_002dmode.html That is unless you're in favour of keeping it ? Afaics at least some X components tend to avoid it.
