I don't think so, or, I wouldn't know how to do that.  The stamp-N is
created by Automake's magic.  They are distributed together with the
version-LANG.texi files.

If Automake would have used stamp-LANG, this would have been much
easier, we could probably have used stem (%) instead of this hairy
function.

Ok, but if it's somehow possible, I agree it would be nice.
