Should ylwap get installed by autoreconf -i?


I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature.

The documentation says:

 The `ylwrap' program is distributed with Automake.  It should appear in
 the directory specified by `AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR' (*note Finding
 `configure' Input: (autoconf)Input.), or the current directory if that
 macro is not used in `configure.in'.

What does "should" mean in that sentence?

I'm asking because we have discovered that (since automake/1.5, at least)
ylwrap is not being installed by either "automake --add-missing" or
"autoreconf --install".

In case it matters, we are using AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR(config) .
