Couldn't find anything for this in the doc.
This is an Autoconf issue, not Automake. Provide a ".in" version of your script, and then list the desired output file in configure.ac's AC_OUTPUT() statement. Then earlier in configure.ac: FOO=/bar AC_SUBST(FOO) an in the .in file @FOO@ will be substituted with the value of FOO.
