+Automake generates rules to automatically rebuild @file{Makefile}s,
+@file{configure}, and other derived files like @file{Makefile.in}.
+
+If you are using @code{AM_MAINTAINER_MODE} in @file{configure.in}, then
+these automatic rebuilding rules are only enabled in maintainer mode.
+
+Sometimes you need to run @code{aclocal} with an argument like @code{-I}
+to tell it where to find @file{.m4} files.  Since sometimes @code{make}
+will automatically run @code{aclocal}, you need a way to specify these
+arguments.  You can do this by defining @code{ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS}; this
+holds arguments which are passed verbatim to @code{aclocal}.  This macro
+is only useful in the top-level @file{Makefile.am}.
