CCing bug-automake. This feature would be generally useful: another
example for automake-using packages is that at "foreign" strictness the
INSTALL file is not copied, but maintainers may still want to include it.
Perhaps a simpler and more flexible option is to add an option to
automake which prints out the location where it finds these files,
similar to aclocal --print-ac-dir. Something like (for example)
% automake --print-snippet-dir
/usr/share/automake-1.11
