Which means that it is not portable and not supported by automake. I 
guess automake-1.10 will spit out a warning telling you that you are 
using a GNU make extension and that you should not. automake was created 
to write portable Makefiles that do not depend on GNU make.

Other then that it is simply not possible to support any GNU make 
extension when we parse the Makefile.am though it may work well when 
running automake on the console. Automake is just a (crappy) perl script 
and it does not really have a well defined syntax.

Of course if someone wants to add support for those features we would 
support him in any way.
