Using the solution outlined in the Automake manual (i.e., using conditionals) would cause us to write enormous Makefile.am files which would be a maintenance nightmare. That is, now everything is automated; if we use a long chain of conditionals we would have to maintain consistency by hand.
Are you saying that you generate Makefile.am (or an include snippet for it) automatically? If not, why not, if yes, what is the problem with maintaining consistency with a script? Ideally, you generate both the files and the makefile.am snippet from the same script.
Do you already do the splitup in CVS? I cannot see it there (I just got HEAD from :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.cs.unipr.it:/cvs/ppl).
