A good paradigm for non-recursive make is to put Automake include

variables and file paths based on the location of the Automake include
file.
That sounds like a good idea. That's exactly the setup I've ended up
when changing from recursive to non-recursive Makefile. I also, however,
often have Automake fragments in a directory 'am/' which are included
into Makefile.am [in topdir]. For those fragment files, it would
probably be confusing if paths were inserted into variables. Perhaps one
could have a switch to turn that feature on.
