Ha, it's true I forgot that sometimes Automake is making the decision
(e.g., ylwrap).  My idea was that anything that has to be installed
can traced from configure.ac.  E.g., gettext could perfectly
AC_SOURCES([config.rpath]), and autolib could use this information.

But, I agree, ylwrap is a counter example.  Are there many?
