As Alexandre says, this works in the cvs automake.

Automake handles `+=' "specially", which unfortunately means it
sometimes doesn't do what you expect.

There isn't a FAQ but there are some tutorials. The autoconf web page
should point to them.
I'm suprised config.status removes the line.
Note that putting multiple directories into VPATH isn't portable.
(Though I suppose that is a curious thing to say since we also claim
to only support VPATH with GNU make -- so portability be damned, I
guess.)
