configure.in is actually the file that's used to create the configure
script.  Makefile.am is the automake makefile template.  If you want
your changes to be proper, you should change these.  This requires that
you have automake and autoconf packages installed to recreate
Makefile.in and the configure script however.

autoconf and automake really are very nice to use, and are a good idea for
any developer to know.  I always use them now.  Once you learn them, it's
actually easier/faster than writing Makefiles the old fashioned way.
The info pages that come with autoconf and automake are a good place to
start if you're interested.

I'm not at my machine right now or I'd take a closer look for you, sorry.
