This sounds like my proposed solutions with an Automake conditional and the logic to find out whether libutil2 should be built in configure.ac, should work just fine. > With my current setup, I have to hack the Makefile.am > prior to doing my 'make install'.

With above, you should be able to just say `make all' and `make install'. Cheers, Ralf
