If you need a verbose introductionary tutorial to Autoconf and Automake
that is not more or less outdated:
http://www-src.lip6.fr/~Alexandre.Duret-Lutz/autotools.html

The first chapter of the Automake 1.10 manual contains an abbreviated
overview:
http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Autotools-Introduction

The Autobook and the tutorial page
http://inti.sourceforge.net/tutorial/libinti/autotoolsproject.html
that is referred to in above wiki page refer to older versions of
Autoconf and Automake, and thus omit newer constructs.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Ralf
