I've written a makefile named automake.mk which contains the following
statements:

...
MAINTAINERCLEANFILES = \
	aclocal.m4 \
	configure \
	install-sh \
	Makefile.in \
	missing \
	mkinstalldirs \
	confdefs.h \
	$(PACKAGE)-$(VERSION).tar.gz

DISTCLEANFILES = \
	$(PACKAGE)-$(VERSION).tar.gz
...

Then, I've written a Makefile.am like this:

## Makefile.am
##
##   description   : File to be processed with 'automake'
##                   to produce 'Makefile.in'.
##   begin         : July 1, 2002
##   author        : Giuseppe Greco

SUBDIRS = \
	src

all-local: html pdf ps

include $(zt_automake_mk)

zt_automake_mk is just a variale set to
/usr/local/share/z-tools/makefiles/automake.mk.

Well, after running libtoolize, aclocal, automake,
and autoconf, the variables set in automake.mk
have no effects; for instance, when I issue the
command make maintainer-clean, the files listed
in MAINTAINERCLEANFILES are not removed.

On the other side, if I put the statement contained
in makefile.mk directly in my Makefile.ma, all works
fine...

That is it!
