Are you saying that you generate Makefile.am (or an include snippet
for it) automatically?  If not, why not, if yes, what is the problem
with maintaining consistency with a script?  Ideally, you generate
both the files and the makefile.am snippet from the same script.

Do you already do the splitup in CVS?  I cannot see it there
(I just got HEAD from :pserver:anoncvs at cvs.cs.unipr.it:/cvs/ppl).

Cheers,
Ralf
