Re: automake 1.7.1 hangs while processing Makefile.am

[Jason Jordan]

I added an EXTRA_shntool_SOURCES line just below shntool_SOURCES
containing all possible {mode,format}*.c files and it still hangs, pegging
the CPU.

As best I can tell, I'm already doing what the info page suggests to do as
far as using automake conditionals.

BTW, here's the output I see from automake:
