I agree. But a modification in systems/Makefile.am is necessary for
`make dist', anyway. If you run `automake that/directory/Makefile'
and, after configure, run:

CONFIG_HEADERS= CONFIG_FILES=that/directory/Makefile ./config.status

it would probably work, but I'm not sure this is a nice thing to
do. We could even arrange that systems/Makefile does that for us, but
I feel a bit uneasy about such low-level hackery.

Yep, that was nice. Too bad we can't have everything :-(
