This one didn't work for me:

$ ./autogen.sh
aclocal
autoconf
autoheader
automake
examples/Makefile.am:23: patsubst %.msc, %.mscin, $(BUILD_SOURCES: non-POSIX 
variable
name
examples/Makefile.am:23: (probably a GNU make extension)
$ automake --version

What version of automake/conf are you using?

Sorry, it *is* a gnu-ism, so I can see Automake refusing it now that I think 
about it.  I've got automake-1.10, but 
it's from Apple XCode so it might have extra chewy goodness in it.  I should 
limit it to Automake tricks so that it 
can still generate workable Makefile.in, but would require gnu only on the 
maintainer-side.

Okay.  Would have been a nice one to avoid the duplication, but I guess we'll 
have to
stick with the long-hand version for portability.  Thanks for the suggestion in 
any
case :)
