Hi Yaakov.  Thanks for the patch, and sorry for the delay.

Congratulation, you have just fixed part of automake bug#8847 :-)

That is much appreciated.

I have now integrated your patch (with some minor fixlets to the commit
message); I have also prepared some follow-up patches that do additional
cleanup, fix several testsuite issues, and introduce PEP-3147 support
in the "make uninstall" target too.  I will soon publish the series as a
reply to this message, and push it in a couple of days if there will be
no objection.  I intend for your fix to appear in the next minor Automake
release (1.12.6), so the series will be pushed to the maint branch.

Thanks,
  Stefano
