Not that I know of.

That's interesting.
Does KDevelop have something like this?
They generate Makefile.am, so presumably they have some mechanism for
reading them too.

If you don't mind GPL Perl code, you could probably reuse code from
automake itself. I'm sure we'd welcome clean changes to make the code
more modular and reusable.
