the syntax model of automake isn't that well-suited to the problem,
since the input-file might something different, nor is the output
file always the same or the prefix that is to be used. Those are
the three optional arguments of the prefix-config macros. If you 
have a proposal how to express that in automake-terms, don't hide it...
