 Ralf> The example below proves the contrary.

Additionally each directory listed in DIST_SUBDIRS or SUBDIRS
should always have a Makefile.  That's needed for `make dist' to
work.  Calling AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS unconditionally ought to fix
your example (I haven't tried).

I see pretty well that you want conditional AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS.
I've wanted this myself too.  It's just something that automake
does not support presently.  The SUBDIRS/DIST_SUBDIRS
distinction is not meant to solve this problem.
