Also, it's probably worth fixing this paragraph:

`Using these variables is very similar to doing conditional
compilation using `AC_SUBST' variables, as described in *note
Conditional Sources::.  That is, when building a program, `$(LIBOBJS)'
and `$(ALLOCA)' should be added to the associated `*_LDADD' variable,
or to the `*_LIBADD' variable when building a library.  However there
is no need to list the corresponding sources in `EXTRA_*_SOURCES' nor
to define `*_DEPENDENCIES'.  Automake automatically adds `$(LIBOBJS)'
and `$(ALLOCA)' to the dependencies, and it will discover the list of
corresponding source files automatically (by tracing the invocations of
the `AC_LIBSOURCE' Autoconf macros).'

to replace the last `.' with `, unless you have already defined 
*_DEPENDENCIES explicitly for another purpose, in which case you must 
add these variables manually.'  This is consistent with the logic in the 
previously mentioned sections about *_DEPENDENCIES.
