>From Automake 1.8's NEWS file:
"Update .info files in the source tree, not in the build tree. This is what the
GNU Coding Standard recommend. Only Automake 1.7.x used to update these files
in the build tree (previous versions did it in the source tree too), and it
caused several problems, varying from mere annoyance to portability issues."
