I'd characterize this as mainly a problem with automake (and libtool, IIRC, though I generally try to stay clear of both), as aclocal, autoconf, and autoheader generally only change one file apiece. Anyway, one (admittedly somewhat heavyweight) solution for such cases is to copy *everything* to a new directory, modify it to your heart's content, and blow it away when done. -- Aaron M.
