Possible to use Automake without Autoconf/config script?

[cs]

Makefile.am is the high level description
of Makefile(s) desired.  Makefiles are created by
Automake.

If I'm not mistaken, the purpose of Makefile.in
is to be a "modified Makefile.am" that is
adjusted with regards to specifics of local
platform.  (Makefile.in of course is created by
configure script.)

If one was only interested in Automake and not
portability, could one bypass Makefile.in
and just use Automake independently of Autoconfig?

i.e. is there maybe some automake switch to
accept Makefile.am rather than Makefile.in?


Thanks,

Chris
