What was in my mind was not Makefile.in but config.sub and other files that slip into \
a project.  They are not generated, rather pure redistributions of GPLed software.

But it seems the current config.sub comes in GPL with exception clause so it might be \
OK.  Not checked everything that ships with automake though.  I'd like to withdraw \
this first point.
