It turns out that besides the top-level ones there are more copied-from-automake
files in various library dirs - where some of them seem quite outdated actually:
libffi/mdate-sh
libjava/classpath/INSTALL
libjava/libltdl/config.guess
libjava/libltdl/config.sub
libjava/libltdl/install-sh
libjava/libltdl/missing
As they don't seem to make troubles, I prefer to leave them untouched as well.
