This is fine.
I have a question though.

Do we really want to use an environment variable? Eventually automake
will default to using the autoconf trace facility. At that time I
suppose we'll generate a rule in Makefile.in that looks like:
$(AUTOMAKE) --autoconf=$(AUTOCONF) ...
... and the default will be to use `autoconf'.
Why not just go ahead and implement that now, with the caveat that
tracing is only enabled if --autoconf is given?
(And for now we wouldn't document --autoconf in automake --help or in
the manual.)
