The point is letting the macro users describe what they need without
having to hack this and that. For instance AM_GNU_GETTEXT could bring
the information about NLS-README etc. without having to hack automake.
My final goal is more or less, everything in the macros (system.h
snippets, configure code, information about files to auto-DIST etc.).
