Yes. Automake create Makefiles that know how to rerun the auto*

These projects probably use Automake 1.5 or 1.6, where those
tests are silent.

Ah yeah, it should probably read "this file was nuked by
autoheader" <wink>. Anyway, that's odd: autoheader should not
touch config.h (only config.h.in or any other name you gave it).
