This is already supported, just add AM_MAINTAINER_MODE and the rules to
rebuild generated files will be disabled except if explicitly requested
by the user by --enable-maintainer-mode. It's a little confusing that
the macro is named 'AM_MAINTAINER_MODE' and yet it disables
functionality useful to maintainers, but so it goes.
It's not the default presumably because there is some controversy as to
whether disabling these rules is really a good idea. It's explained in
the manaul:
<http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#maintainer_002dmode>.
