Hi,
I'm in a situation where I can't run make distcheck because I need to
specify flags to the configure invocation. This is mostly legitimate
when installing software on a machine where you don't have root access.
My package need a library and I must tell configure that this package
is in an odd place (--with-uri=$HOME/local).
Here is a patch for a simple workaround, passing configure options
thru the AM_CONFIGFLAGS environment variable. The patch was applied on
the latest dist.am (Fri Oct 13 14:54:04 CEST 2000) from the cygnus.com
cvs repository.

Thanks for maintaining automake, it saves my life every day :-)
