The Makefile.am and configure.in files are made by hand.
Then, automake and autoconf are run.
You can take a look at autogen.sh, available in the CVS version (but not
the tarball) to see what it does. You can modify it for your project. Then
you just have to edit Makefile.am, configure.in, and then run your
modified autogen.sh to create the configure script and other files.
