-It would be good to check some parts of GNU standards:

 Maybe it should be possible to disable all GNU-specific things with
 --no-gnu? --ignore-standards?  But what?  And why?

+@section Architecture-independent data files
+
+@code{automake} supports two different ways to install
+architecture-independent data files.
+
+The first variable that can be used is @samp{DATA}.  This is intended to
+be used for only a small number of data files.  The files are installed
+in @samp{$@{datadir@}}.
+
+The second variable that can be used is @samp{PACKAGEDATA}.  This is
+intended for a larger number of data files.  The files are installed in
+@samp{$@{datadir@}/$@{PACKAGE@}}.  This variable is what @code{automake}
+itself uses:
+
+@example
+PACKAGEDATA = clean-kr.am clean.am compile-kr.am compile-vars.am \
+compile.am data.am depend.am dist-subd-top.am dist-subd-vars.am \
+dist-subd.am dist-vars.am dist.am footer.am header-vars.am header.am \
