On closer examination, the problem is that you've been reading only
autoconf documenation to find out how to prepare input used by both
autoconf and automake. The correct syntax is actually in the automake
manual:
AC_CONFIG_FILES(
[Makefile]
[src/Makefile:src/Makefile.in:append/append.mk]
)
The trick being that for automake to grok multi-part input, you have to
name not just the final output file, but also the intermediate (the one
automake is to build from src/Makefile.am).
