Then you get an error output like:

automake-1.10: ####################
automake-1.10: ## Internal Error ##

Do you think it would be more helpful if the error were like this?
| Makefile.am:4: conditional terminated with `endif' instead of `fi'
OK to apply the patch below to this end (and add Jason to THANKS)?
Looking at the patch, I can see why you've added 'fi' as a check. But
does the problem remain when an 'if' is unterminated automake would
still report an error? I just didn't think it was necessary to
explicitly deal with "fi" except for those who get confused between sh
and automake :).
But given GCC diagnostics for unterminated if's, it might be a real
nightmare to do anything other than what Ralf has graciously implemented.
Cheers, and thanks,
Ralf
