>From my limited understanding of automake there is no easy way to do
this. Also I don't quite understand the benefit of doing this. If the
maintenance of the Makefile.am is becoming a problem you could use
wildcards, but their use is discouraged as they only work on GNU Make
(see also "Why doesn't Automake support wildcards?"
http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/automake/Wildcards.html).
They argue that it is not that much work to add a file to Makefile.am.
